CHAP. 2, ART. 1, SECS. 7, 8. 


§7. Bonds and mortgages due the city; duties of comptroller. 
The comptroller is hereby authorized, with the sanction of the board of com- 


missioners of the sinking fund, to assign any bond or mortgage held by the board 
to any person or persons who may elect to take such assignment, upon the payment 
in full of the principal and interest due on said bond and mortgage; and the mayor 
and city clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute, under their hands and 
the seal of the city, any such assignment, upon evidence being exhibited to them, 
showing that the principal and interest of such bond and mortgage have been paid 
into the treasury of the city to the credit of the board of commissioners of the sinking 
fund. Upon the payment of any bond and mortgage in full, the comptrolier shall 
prepare and cause to be executed a proper satisfaction of such bond arid mortgage; 
which the mayor and city clerk are hereby authorized to execute, upon the production 
of evidence that the bond and mortgage has been paid, as provided in the preceding 
sentence of this section. But no release of any part of the premises contained in 
such mortgage, from the lien created by such mortgage thereon, shall be made or 
executed by them. (C. O., §§43, 44.) 


§8. Investment of moneys of the sinking fund for redemption of the city 
debt. 

The board shall, from time to time, invest the moneys which shall constitute the 
sinking fund for the redemption of the city debt, or as much as it can, in the 
purchase of stocks created by the city at not exceeding the market price therefor; 
and if, at any time such investments cannot be made to the advantage of the city, 
then the board shall be authorized to invest the said moneys, or such part thereof 
as they may see fit, either in the purchase of stock of the state of New York, or of 
stock or bonds of the United States, notwithstanding such stock or bonds may be 
above the par value thereof. The powers conferred in this section shall be so con- 
strued as to render it imperative on the board, at all times to give preference to 
the purchase of city stock, if the same can be procured at a reasonable rate. Whenever 
the board shall have invested any part of the said fund in the purchase of the stocks 
of this state or of the United States, and shall at any time thereafter be enabled to 
purchase any of the city stocks, at such prices as the commissioners may judge best 
for the public interest, they shall forthwith sell and dispose of said stocks of the 
state or of the United States and invest the net proceeds thereof in the city stock, 
if, in their opinion, such disposition would be beneficial to the public interest.. When- 
ever the board shall have invested any part of the said fund in the purchase of city 
stock, and shall at any time thereafter be enabled to purchase any of the city stock 
which shall be by its terms redeemable at an earlier day, the board may forthwith 
sell the same and invest the net proceeds in such other city stock, if in the opinion 
of the commissioners such exchange shall be desirable and beneficial to the public 
interest. Whenever any of the moneys constituting the sinking fund for the redemp- 
tion of the city debt shall be required for any purchase or investment mentioned in 
this section, or for the redemption of any of the city stocks at their maturity, the 
amount of money required shall be paid from the treasury by warrant, signed by 
the board or any four of its members, the comptroller being one. All stocks and 
securities which shall be purchased by the board shall be transferred to it, and all 
transfers thereof, when disposed of pursuant to the provisions of this section, shall 
be made by the commissioners or any four of them, of whom the comptroller shall be 
one. The city stock which shall be purchased by the board shall not be canceled by it — 
until the final redemption of the same, and all interest accruing thereon shall regularly 
be carried to the sinking fund for the redemption of the city debt. 

Nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent the board from tem- 
porarily investing the unemployed moneys belonging to the sinking fund in the tem- 
porary bonds of the city. (C. O., §§58-64, 67.) 


16 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS. 


§9. Record of proceedings of the board; report to board of aldermen. 

The comptroller shall keep a correct journal of the proceedings of the board of 
_ commissioners of the sinking fund, to be authenticated by the secretary of the board, 
by his signature; and once in each year, or oftener, if required, the comptroller shall 
render unto the board of aldermen a full and detailed report of the proceedings of 
the board. The report shall specify the disbursements, purchases, exchanges and sales 
made by the board, the prices at which and the parties from whom such purchases, 
with whom such exchanges, and to whom such sales shall have been made; the 
amounts and descriptions of the stocks of the city purchased by the board; the 
amounts and descriptions of the stocks of this state and of the United States then 
held by the board, and the amounts paid for interest on city stocks. Such report

are engaged by the hour or the day, either by a contractor employed for the purpose 
or by the street cleaning department itself, it shall be stipulated that such work shall 
be paid for daily, directly to those individuals employed on it, in the currency of the 
United States, and not by check or ticket. Such payments, in each instance, shall be 
made at the substations of the street cleaning department. Every contractor engaged 
in the removal of snow shall be required to stipulate with the commissioner of street 
claening, or others empowered to enter into contracts for that purpose, as the case 
may be, to observe the provisions of this section, a violation of any of which shall 
be deemed to abrogate any such contract. (C. O., §§418a, 418b.) 


§72. Enforcement of contracts; bonds. |

tractor or contractors to whom the same may be awarded, and shall be accompanied

holder in the city, and by the oath of the person, or an officer of such company that

require such sureties to be further examined before himself, or an officer authorized 
to administer oaths deputed by him, in respect of the items and details of their prop- 
erty, before approving the adequacy and sufficiency of such sureties. Each depart- 
ment of the city government and each officer, by whom any contract for work to be 
done for the city shall be made, shall require and enforce the faithful execution of 
each contract so made by them; and, in case the contractor or contractors shall fail 
in any respect to perform the work which he or they have contracted to render or 
perform, within the time hmited for the performance of the same, then the depart- 
ment or officer having charge of such work shall do and complete the same in the 
manner provided for in the contract for its performance, and the cost thereof shall 
be charged against such delinquent contractor or contractors; provided, however. 
that the head of any department or other officer by whom any such contract shall 
be made, may, on good and sufficient cause, extend for a reasonable time the period 
fixed for the completion thereof. (C. O., §520.) 


§73. Payments on contracts.

except upon proper vouchers rendered by the head of the appropriate department,

nished; provided that, in the case of a payroll for labor performed under the super- 
vision of the borough presidents, the comptroller may draw a warrant for the total 
amount of such payroll in favor of the chamberlain, who shall make the payments 
therein specified. Such vouchers shall be made out in duplicate, and shall contain the 
certificate of such subordinate officers as the head of the department may require, in 
such form and purport as he shall prescribe, and also a certificate of the head of the 
department. One of the duplicate vouchers shall be retained in the department or 
office by which the vouchers are rendered, and the other shall be transmitted to the 
department of finance for payment. No payment shall be made upon any contract 
beyond the amount thereof. (C. O., §§39, 523, 86, 87.)

provisions thereof or in accordance with any of the provisions of this ordinance, the 


head of the department or officer having the work in charge shall furnish to the 


person or persons entitled to such payments a certificate, in writing, specifying the 
contract upon which the payment is due and the amount due thereon. The comp- 
troller, on the presentation to him of such certificate, shall pay the amount. thereof and 
endorse such payment upon the contract upon which such payment was made, but 
final payment on any contract shall not be made until the head of department or 
officer having charge of the work under the contract shall furnish a certificate, signed 
by him and filed in the office of the comptroller, that the work mentioned in the 
contract has been completed according to the terms thereof and to the satisfaction of 
the head of department or officer giving the certificate. (C. O., §§522, 523.)

Each borough president shall appoint a competent inspector of contract work 
under the jurisdiction of his department, in all cases where he may deem the public 
service requires such inspector. Whenever an assessment shall be levied for any 
unprovement, the amount paid for inspection of any contract work connected there- 
with shall be assessed and collected with the other expenses of the improvement, 
except where the inspector’s wages are legally chargeable to the contractor. (C. O., $91.) 


§76. Affidavits of surveyor and inspector. 

Each and every contractor shall be required to obtain an affidavit from the sur- 
veyor, setting forth the amount of work done, of every description, that may be

same upon the outer door of the theatre or circus or building wherein such exhibition

In case of any proceeding against the manager or proprietor of any such theatre, circus

deemed and held sufficient. (Charter, §1479.)

plumbing and drainage until the application and plans required by §3 of this article 
shall have been approved by the superintendent of buildings, and a written permit 
issued by him. The superintendent of buildings shall approve or reject any applica- 
tion or plan, or amendment thereto, filed with him pursuant to the provisions of this 
article within a reasonable time and, if approved, shall promptly issue a permit therefor. 

2. Approval in part. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the 
superintendent of buildings from approving and issuing a permit for the construction 
of part of a building or structure, when plans and detailed statements have been pre- 
sented for the same, before the entire plans and detailed statements of said building 
or structure have been submitted or approved.

$52. Working stresses for columns. 
1. General. In columns or compression members with flat ends, of cast iron, 


steel or wood, the stresses shall not exceed those specified in this section for the 
respective ratios of slenderness. For intermediate ratios of slenderness the working 
stresses shall be proportionate to those given. (B. C., §138.) 

2. Unsupported lengths. Columns and compression members shall not be used 
having an unsupported length of greater ratios than given in this section. (B. C., 
§138.) 

3. Eccentrically loaded columns. Any column eccentrically loaded shall have 
the stresses caused by such eccentricity computed, and the combined stresses resulting 
from such eccentricity at any part of the column, added to all other stresses at that 
part, shall in no case exceed the working stresses given in this section. The eccentric 
load of a column may be considered to be. distributed equally over the entire area 
of that column at the next point below that at which the column is securely braced 
laterally in the direction of the eccentricity. (B. C., §138.) 

4. Cast iron and steel columns. The working stresses in pounds per square inch 
of cross section for cast iron and steel columns shall be, when the length divided by

§53. Loads. 


1. Dead load. The term “dead load” means the weight of walls, partitions, 
framing, floors, roofs and all permanent construction entering into any building. 
(Amended by ord. effective June 22, 1915.) 


2. Inve load. The term “live load” means all forms of loading other than the 
weight of the material entering into the construction of the building. 


3. Floor loads. Every floor, roof, yard, court or sidewalk shall be of sufficient 
strength in all parts to bear safely any imposed loads, whether permanent or tem- 
porary, in addition to the dead loads depending thereon, provided, however, that no 
floor in any building or extension to an existing building hereafter erected, shall be 
designed to carry less than the following live loads per square foot of area, uniformly 
distributed according as the floor may be intended or used for the purpose indicated, 

40 pounds for residence purposes, 

100 pounds for places of assembly or public purpose, except that for classrooms 
of schools or other places of instruction the floor need not be designed for more than 
75 pounds, and . 

120 pounds for any other purpose, except that the floors of offices need not be 
designed for more than 60 pounds. 

The live loads for which any and every floor may be designed shall be clearly 
shown in the application and on the plans before any permit to erect is issued. 

4. Concentrated loads. Every steel floor beam in any building hereafter erected 
used for any business purpose shall be capable of sustaining a live load concentrated 
at its centre of at least 4,000 pounds. 

5. Moving loads. Running machinery or other moving loads shall be considered 
as increasing the live loads in proportion to the degree of vibratory impulse trans- 
mitted to the floor. 

6. Roof loads. Every roof hereafter erected shall be proportioned to bear safely 
a live load of 40 pounds per square foot of surface when the pitch of such roof is 
20 degrees or less, with the horizontal, and 30 pounds per square foot measured on 
a horizontal plane, when the pitch is more than 20 degrees. 

7. Loads on vertical supports. Every column, post or other vertical support 
shall be of sufficient strength to bear safely the combined live and dead loads of such 
portions of each and every floor as depend upon it for support, except that in build- 
ing more than 5 stories in height the live load on the floor next below the top floor 
may be assumed at 95 per cent. of the allowable live load, on the next lower floor 
at 90 per cent. and on each succeeding lower floor at correspondingly decreasing 
percentages, provided that in no case shall less than 50 per cent. of the allowable live 
load be assumed. 

8. Sidewalk loads. For sidewalks between the curb and building lines, the live 
load shall be taken at 300 pounds per square foot- 

9. Yard and court loads. For yards and couris inside the building line. the live 
loads shall be taken at not less than 120 pounds per square foot. 

(Be Oy §130.)"

CHAP. 5, ART. 3, SECS. 54-55, 


§54. Wind pressure. 

1. When considered. All buildings over 150 feet in height and all buildings or 
parts of buildings in which the height is more than 4 times the minimum hori- 
zontal dimension, shall be designed to resist a horizontal wind pressure of 30 pounds 
for every square foot of exposed surface measured from the ground to the top of the 
structure, including roof, allowing for wind in any direction. 

2. Stability. The overturning moment due to wind pressure shall not exceed 75 
per cent. of the moment of stability of the structure, unless the structure is securely 
anchored to the foundation. Anchors shall be of sufficient strength to safely carry 
the excess overturning moment, without exceeding the working stresses prescribed in 
this chapter. 

3. Allowable stresses. When the stress in any member due to wind does not 
exceed 50 per cent. of the stress due to live and dead loads, it may be neglected. When 
such stress exceeds 50 per cent. of the stress due to live and dead loads, the working 
stresses prescribed in this chapter may be increased by 50 per cent. in designing such 
members to resist the combined stresses. 

(B. C., §140.) 


§55. Floor capacities. 

1. Estemate of floor capacity. In every building now existing or hereafter 
erected, occupied wholly or in part as a business building, in which heavy materials 
are kept or stored, or machinery is introduced, the weight that each floor will safely 
sustain shall be estimated by the owner or occupant, or by a competent person employed 
by the owner or occupant. Such estimate shall be filed with the superintendent of 
buildings, properly verified by the person making the same in such manner as such 
superintendent may direct, and shall give full information on which the estimate is 
based. When such estimate is found to be satisfactory and correct, the superintendent 
of buildings shall approve the same. If the superintendent of buildings shall have 
cause to doubt the correctness of said estimate, he is empowered to revise and correct 
the same and for the purpose of such revision the officers and employees of the 
bureau of buildings may enter any building and remove so much of any floor or other 
portion thereof as may be required to make necessary measurements and examination. 
Any expense necessarily incurred in removing any floor or other portion of any build- 
ing for the purpose of making any examination herein provided for shall be paid by 
the comptroller, upon the requisition of the superintendent of buildings, out of the — 
fund paid over to him under the provisions of §639 of this chapter. Such expenses 
shall be a charge against the person or persons by whom or on whose behalf said esti- 
mate was made, provided such examination proves the floors of insufficient strength 
to carry with safety the loads found upon them when such examination was made; 
and shall be collected in an action to be brought by the corporation counsel against 
said person or persons, and the sum so collected shall be paid over to the comptroller, 
to be deposited in said fund in reimbursement of the amount paid as aforesaid, 


2. Posting floor capacities. Before any building hereafter erected is occupied, 
in whole or in part, as a business building, and before any building already erected 
but not heretofore occupied as a business building is occupied or used, in whole or 
in part, for such purpose, the safe live load for each floor as approved by the superin- 
tendent of buildings shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the story to which it 
relates. When the safe live load for any existing floor, ascertained as hereinbefore 
provided, has been approved by the superintendent of buildings, the owner or occu- 
pant shall post such approved live load in a conspicuous place or places on each story 
occupied for any of the purposes indicated in this section. 


3. Loading of floors. No person shall place, or cause or permit to be placed, on 
any floor of any building any greater load than the approved safe load. 


58 


BUILDING CODE. 


4. Safes. No safe shall be placed on a stair landing or in a stair hall, nor shall 


its weight be carried by any beam which also carries the floor of any landing or 
stair hall.

tures shall be classified, with respect to occupancy and use, as public buildings, resi- 
dence buildings and business buildings, as hereinafter specified and defined. 

2. Public buildings. Public buildings are buildings or parts of buildings in which 
persons congregate for civic, political, educational, religious or recreational purposes, 
or in which persons are harbored to receive medical, charitable or other care or treat- 
ment, or in which persons are held or detained by reason of public or civie duty, or 
for correctional purposes, including among others, court houses. schools, colleges, 
libraries, museums, exhibition buildings, lecture halls, churches, assembly halls, lodge 
rooms, dance halls, theatres, bath houses, hospitals, asylums, armories, fire houses, 
police stations, jails and passenger depots.

in which sleeping accommodations are provided, except such as may for other reasons 
be classed as public buildings, including among others, dwellings, tenement houses, 
hotels, lodging houses, dormitories, convents, and studios and club houses having 
sleeping accommodations. 

4. Business buildings. Business buildings are buildings or parts of buildings, 
which are not public buildings or residence buildings, including among others, office 
buildings, stores, markets, restaurants, warehouses, freight depots, car barns, stables, 
garages, factories, laboratories, smoke houses, grain elevators and coal pockets. 

5. Doubtful classification. In case any building is not specifically provided for, 
or where there is any uncertainty as to its classification, its status shall be fixed by 
a rule promulgated by the superintendent of buildings. 

6. Mixed occupancy. In case a building is occupied or used for different pur- 
poses in different parts, the provisions of this chapter applying to each class of occu- 
pancy shall apply to such parts of the building as come within that class; and if 
there should be conflicting provisions, the requirements securing the greater safety 
shall apply. 

§71. Construction. 

1. Classes of construction. For the purposes of this chapter, all buildings or 
structures shall be classified, with respect to construction, as fireproof, non-fireproof 
and frame. . 

2. Fireproof. Fireproof buildings or structures are those which are constructed 
throughout of materials that will resist the action of fire and are constructed as 
required in article 17 of this chapter. . 

3. Non-fireproof. Non-fireproof buildings or structures are those which do not 
conform to the requirements for fireproof buildings or structures, but which are 
enclosed with walls of approved masonry or reinforced concrete.

structed non-fireproof by special permission of the superintendent of buildings, pro- 
vided they do not exceed 2 stories in height. 

2. Alterations. a. By extending. When any building now existing is to be 
enlarged by extending it on any side so that the enlarged building would exceed the 
limits of height or area specified in subdivision 1 of this section for a new building, 
the’ extension or enlargement shall be constructed fireproof, provided that, in case the 
existing building is not of fireproof construction, the existing and new portions Of 7 
the building shall be separated by fire walls. é 

b. By raising in height. No building now existing shall be raised in height so

to be raised and kept higher than the ground of the adjoining lot or lots (provided 
the ground of such adjoining lot or lots is not maintained at a grade lower than in 
conformity with the street or streets on which they are situated) and a retaining wall 
for supporting the same shall be necessary, such retaining wall shall be made and main- 
tained jointly by the owners of the land on each side and shall stand one-half upon 
the land of each owner; but, if the owner of the lot or lots having the lower grade 
shall bear and discharge the entire cost and expense of the making, such retaining wall 
shall be built entirely upon the lot having the higher grade and shall thereafter be 
maintained jointly by the owners of the land on both sides thereof. 

2. To support adjoining earth. When an excavation has been made or a fill 

placed on any lot, but as the case may be, not below or above the legal grade in 
conformity with the street on which that lot fronts, and the land adjoining it has 
no building or permanent structure thereon, other than frame sheds or structures 
of like character, and where a retaining wall shall be necessary to suppport the ad- 
joining earth, such retaining wall shall stand one-half upon the lot of each owner and 
shall be made and maintained jointly by the owners of the land on each side; provided, 
that, if the owner of the lot having the lower grade shall bear and discharge the 
entire cost and expense of the making, such retaining wall shall be built entirely upon 
the lot having the higher grade and shall thereafter be maintained jointly by the 
owners of the land on both sides thereof. 
38. Surplus wall. Where any owner shall insist on maintaining his ground either 
higher or lower than the legal regulation as hereinafter provided, except in a case 
herein otherwise specifically provided for, the surplus retaining wall, which may be 
necessary to support such height or provide for such excavation, shall be made and 
maintained at the sole expense of such owner. | 

4. Construction. All retaining walls required under this section shall be con- 
structed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

5. Removal. Any retaining wall erected or provided under this section, stand- 
ing partly on the land of each owner, may be removed by either owner when the 
necessity for such retaining wall no longer exists. (Ord., Aug. 11, 1914.) 


§212. Regulation of lots. 

The regulation of lots, in conformity with the street or streets on which they are 
situated, shall be calculated at an ascent of 2 inches in every 10 feet, measured from 
the curb in a direction at right angles or normal thereto; provided that, in the case 
cf a lot having more than one street frontage, when so situated that the street 
frontage intersect, the curb along the longest street frontage shall be used,and, when so 
situated that the street frontages do not intersect the curb along each frontage shall be 
used to one-half the depth of the lot between street frontages. A lot as referred to 
in this section, shall be deemed and construed to mean a parcel of land not over 25 
feet by 100 feet, in one ownership, whether adjacent land be in the same ownership 
or not; but, for the purpose hereof, no land in the same ownership may be divided 
into lots smaller than 25 feet by 100 feet. (Ord., Aug. 11, 1914.) 


§213. Neglect to maintain. 

If any person whose duty it may be jointly to make or repair any partition, fence 
or retaining wall or any part thereof, in pursuance of the provisions of this article, 
shall neglect so to do, or to join in so doing, for 6 days, after being requested, in 
writing, by the owner or owners of the adjoining ground, the owner of such adjoining 
ground may make or repair such partition fence or retaining wall, or cause the same 
to be done, and may recover from such person such share of the expense of making 
or repairing so much thereof as is necessarily made or repaired by him, with costs, in 
any court having jurisdiction. (Ord., Aug. 11, 1914.) 


§214. Disputes. 

‘In case of any dispute between parties, as to what part or portion of the expense 
shall be borne and discharged by either of them, for building or maintaining any par- 
tition fence or wall, and in all cases of dispute concerning the sufficiency of any fence 
or wall, the controversy shall be determined by the superintendent of buildings of the 
borough in which the fence or wall may be situated. (Ord., Aug. 11, 1914.) 


§215. Enforcement. 


The superintendent of buildings in each borough may, in order to effect the pur- 
poses of this article, notify in writing any owner of any requirement under any pro- 
vision thereof. Any person who shall fail to proceed, within 10 days, in accordance 
with such notice, or to comply therewith, within such reasonable time thereafter as 
shall be allowed or permitted by the superintendent of buildings, shall be liable to a 
penalty of not less than $10, nor more than $50, and, in addition, he shall be liable to 
a further penalty of $1 for each and every day that his default shall continue, after due 
notice thereof. (Ord., Aug. 11, 1914.)

CHAP. 5, ART. 12, SEC. 230. 


§230. Excavations. 

1. Safeguarding generally. Until provision for permanent support has been made, 
all excavations shall be properly guarded and protected so as to prevent the same 
from becoming dangerous to life or limb, and shall be sheet-piled, braced or shored, 
where necessary to prevent the adjoining earth from caving in, by, the person causing 
the excavation to be made. (B. C. §22.) 


2. When retaining wall required. When an excavation is made on any lot, and 
provision for the support of adjoining earth is not otherwise made in accordance 
with law, the person making such excavation or causing it to be made shall, at his own | 
cost and expense, except as may be provided in article 11 of this chapter or as here- 
inafter provided in this section, build a retaining wall to support the adjoining earth; 
and such retaining wall shall be carried to the height of the adjoining earth, oa be 
properly protected by coping. (B. C. §22.) 


3. Support of neighboring walls. a. When excavation exceeds 10 feet. When- 
ever an excavation is intended to be, or shall be carried to the depth of more than 10 
feet below the curb, the person causing such excavation to be made shall at all times 
if afforded the necessary license to enter upon the adjoining land, and not otherwise, at 
his own expense, preserve and protect from injury any wall, building or structure, the 
safety of which may be affected by said excavation, and support the same by proper 
foundations, whether the said wall, building or structure is down more or less than 
10 feet below the curb. If the necessary license is not accorded to the person mak- 
ing such excavation, then it shall be the duty of the owner refusing to grant such license 
to make such wall, building or structure safe, and to support the same by proper 
foundations and, when necessary for that purpose, such owner shall be permitted to 
enter upon the premises where such excavation is to be made. (B. C. §22.) .- 


b. When excavation does not exceed 10 feet. If such excavation is not in-~ 
tended to be, or shall not be carried to a depth of more than 10 feet below the curb, the 
owner of any wall, building or structure, the safety of which may be affected by said 
excavation, shall preserve and protect the same from injury, and support the same by 
proper foundations and, when necessary for that purpose, shall be permitted to enter 
upon the premises where such excavation is to be made. In case such wall, building 
or structure, however, is so located that the curb to which it is properly referred is at 
a higher level than the curb to which the excavation is referred, such part of any 
necessary underpinning or foundation as may be due to the difference in curb level 
shall be made and maintained at the joint expense of the person causing excava- 
tior to be made and the owner of such wall, building or structure. (B. C. §22.) 


4. Support of party wall. In case an adjoining party wall is intended to be 
used by the person causing the excavation to be made and such party wall is in good 
condition and sufficient for the uses of the existing and proposed building, the person 
causing the excavation to be made, shall, at his own expense, preserve such party 
wall from injury and support the same by proper foundations, so that said party wall 
shall be and remain practically as safe as before the excavation was commenced. 
(B. C. §22.) 


5. Superintendent of buildings may act. If the person whose duty it shall be 
under the provisions of this chapter properly to guard and protect an excavation, or 
to prevent adjoining earth from caving in, or to preserve or protect any wall, building 
or structure from injury, shall neglect or fail so to do after having had a notice of 24 
hours from the superintendent of buildings, such superintendent may enter upon the 
premises and employ such labor, and furnish such materials and take such steps as, 
in his judgment, may be necessary to prevent adjoining earth from caving in or to make 
such wall, building or structure safe and secure, or to prevent the same from becom- 
ing unsafe or dangerous at the expense of the person whose duty it is to keep the 


82 


BUILDING CODE. 


same safe and secure. The city or any person doing the said work, or any part 
thereof, under and by direction of a superintendent of buildings, may bring and 
maintain an action against the person last herein referred to, to recover the value 
of the work done and materials furnished, in and about the said premises, in the same 
manner as if he had been employed to do the work by the said person. (B. C. §22.) 


§231. Soil, bearing capacity. 

1. Indicative statement required. Applications for permits for new buildings, 
and, when necessary, for alterations to existing buildings, shall contain a statement 
of the character of the soil at the level of the footings. (B.C. §23.) 

2. Presumptive capacities. In the absence of a satisfactory test of the sustaining 
power of the soil, different soils, excluding mud, shall be deemed to safely sustain 
the following loads to the superficial foot, namely:

In case the soil under the footings of any one building is partly rock and partly 
yielding soil, the bearing capacity of the yielding soil shall be taken at not more than 
one-half of the capacity otherwise allowed. (B. C., §23.) 

3. Soil tests. When a doubt arises as to the safe sustaining power of the soil 
upon which a building is to be erected, the superintendent of buildings may order 
borings to be made, or he may direct the sustaining power of the soil to be tested 
in accordance with the methods established by the rules of the superintendent of build- 
ings, by and at the expense of the owner of the proposed building. Where a test is 
made of the sustaining power of the soil the superintendent of buildings shall be 
notified so that he may be present in person or by representative. The record of the 
test shall be filed in the bureau of buildings. (B. C., $23.) 


§232. Foundations, generally. 


1. General requirements. Every building, except buildings erected upon solid 
rock or upon wharves or piers on the water front, shall have foundations of brick 
or other approved masonry, iron or steel, laid not less than 4 feet below the surface 
of the earth, on the solid ground or level surface of rock, or upon piles or ranging 
timbers when solid earth or rock is not found. (B. C., §25.) 


2. Protection of metal work. Where metal is incorporated in or forms part 
of a foundation, it shall be thoroughly protected from rust by paint, asphaltum, 
concrete, or by such materials and in such manner as may be approved by the super- 
intendent of buildings. (B. C., §25.) 

§233. Footings. 

1. Materials. The footings of foundation walls shall consist of footing stones, 
concrete, reinforced concrete construction or steel grillages. Wood footings may be 
used if they are entirely below the permanent water level. (B. C., §26.) 

2. Footing stones. Footing stones shall not be less than 2 by 3 feet, they shall 
not be less than 8 inches in thickness for walls, nor less than 10 inches in thickness 


83 


CHAP. 6, ART. 12, SECS. 234-236. 


under piers, columns or posts. Footing stones shall be well bedded and laid crosswise, 
edge to edge. (B. C., §26.) 


3. Concrete footings. Concrete footings shall be not less than 12 inches thick, 
except that for frame buildings the thickness may not be less than 8 inches. (B. C., 
§26.) 


4. Steel grillages. When grillage beams, resting on a proper concrete bed, are 
used, they shall be provided with separators and bolts and shall be inclosed and filled 
solid between with concrete. (B. C., §26.) 


5. Pressure under footings. For the loads exerting pressure under the footings 
of foundations the full dead loads and the figured live loads on the lowest tier of 
columns, piers or walls shall be taken. For this purpose the reduced live loads 
permitted by subdivision 7 of §53 of this chapter, may be used. (B. C., §24.) . 


6. Design. Footings shall be so designed that the loads they sustain per unit 
of area shall be as nearly uniform as possible and within the bearing capacities of soils 
established by this article, and that the stresses in the materials shall not exceed those 
fixed by this chapter. In proportioning the areas of footings for any building the 
dead loads alone shall be considered, provided, however, that in no case shall the 
pressure under the footings as determined in subdivision 5 of this section, exceed 
the safe load on the soil established by this article. (B. C., §24.) 


§234. Foundation piers and caissons. 

The foundations of any building may be carried down to rock or hard pan by 
isolated piers of approved masonry or reinforced concrete, or by open or pneumatio 
caissons, so designed that the working stresses in the materials and the loads on the 
rock or hardpan do not exceed those established by this chapter. (B. C., §26.) 


§235. Pile foundations. 

1. General requirements. Piles intended to sustain a wall or building, or any 
part thereof, shall be driven to a solid bearing, if practicable to do so, and the method 
of driving shall be such as not to impair their strength. No pile or group of piles 
shall be loaded eccentrically. Any type of pile constructed not provided for in this 
section shall meet such requirements as may be prescribed by the rules of the superim 
tendent. of buildings. (B. C., §25.) 


2. Wood piles. a. Quality and size. Wood piles shall be of approved timber, 
sound and straight. The diameter at the point shall be not less than 6 inches. The 
diameter at the butt shall be not less than 10 inches for piles not over 25 feet in 
length, and not less than 12 inches at the butt for piles of greater length. (B.C., §25.) 

b. Allowable loads. The safe sustaining power of any wood pile in tons shall be 
taken as twice the weight of the hammer in tons multiplied by the height of the fall 
in feet, divided by the average penetration of the pile in inches under the last 5 
blows, plus 1, when a drop hammer is used for driving, and as twice the weight of 
the hammer in tons multiplied by the height of the fall in feet, divided by the average 
penetration in inches under the last 5 blows, plus 1/10, when a steam hammer is 
-used for driving, provided that the driving has reached such a point when successive 
blows produce approximately equal penetration. No wood pile, however, shall be 
weighted with a load exceeding 20 tons. (B. C., §25.) 

c. Construction. The distance between wood piles shall not pe more than 
36 nor less than 20 inches on centers. The tops of wood piles shall be cut off below 
the permanent water level. When ranging and capping timbers are laid on piles 
or foundations, they shall be of hard wood not less than 6 inches thick and properly 
joined together, and their tops laid before the permanent water level. (B. C., §25.) 

d. Meadow land construction. When wood piles are used under frame buildings 
built over the water or on salt meadow land, they may project above the water a 


84 


BUILDING CODE. 


sufficient height to raise the building above high tide, and the building may be placed 
directly thereon without other foundation. (B. C., §25.) 


3. Concrete piles. a. Concrete filled steel tubes, For piles consisting of steel 
tubes filled with concrete, the tubes shall have a diameter of 9 inches or more and a 
thickness of not less than 5-16 of an inch. The ends of each tube shall be faced 
perpendicular to its axis. Splices shall be of an approved design and not more than 
one splice shall be used in the total length of the pile. The length of any such pile 
shall not exceed 40 times the inside diameter of the tube. Such piles shall be driven 
to a full bearing on rock. The allowable load of any such pile shall not exceed 500 
Ibs. per square inch on the concrete and 7,500 lbs. per square inch on the steel, pro- 
vided that in computing the effective area of the steel the outer 1-16 inch of thickness 
shall be deducted from the thickness of the tube. No interior steel reinforcements 
shall be used. (New.) 

b. Piles moulded before driving. Concrete piles moulded and cured before driv- 
‘ing shall not be provided with more than 4 per cent. of longitudinal reinforcement. 
The diameter or lateral dimension of such a pile shall not be less than 8 inches at the 
foot and shall not average less than 12 inches in the length of the pile. The length 
shall not exceed 20 times the average diameter when the pile is driven to rock nor 
40 times the average diameter in any case. When driven to rock the allowable load 
on any such pile shall not exceed 500 lbs. per square inch on the concrete at the 
average cross-section and 6,000 Ibs. per square inch on the longitudinal reinforce- 
ment. If driven to rock, the foot shall be provided with a metal shoe. (New.) 

c. Piles moulded in place. Concrete piles cast in place shall be so made and 
placed as to insure the exclusion of any foreign matter, and to secure a perfect full- 
sized shaft. The average diameter of any such pile in place shall not be less than 1] 
inches and the diameter of the foot shall be not less than 6 inches. The length shall 
not exceed 30 times the average diameter. The allowable load shall not exceed 350 
Ibs. per square inch on the concrete. (New.) 

d. Allowable loads. When concrete piles are not driven to rock they shall be 
treated as friction piles and their carrying capacities shall be determined by test in 
accordance with rules established by the superintendent of buildings; but the stresses 
herein given for the materials composing them shall not be exceeded in any ease. 
(New.) 


e. Concrete. The concrete for concrete piles shall be mixed in the proportion of 
1 part Portland cement to not more than 2 parts of clean, coarse sand, and 4 parts 
of broken stone or gravel of a size passing through a 1-inch ring, with sufficient water 
to produce a plastic or viscous consistency. (New.) 


4. Tests. When any doubt exists as to the safe sustaining power of piles upon 
which a building or structure is to be supported, the superintendent of buildings may 
order a test of the same to be made at the expense of the owner of the proposed 
building or structure or the person causing the piles to be driven. The record of 
every such test shall be filed in the bureau of buildings. (New.) 


§236. Foundation walls. 

1. Definition. Foundation walls shall be construed to include all walls and piers 
built below the curb level or the nearest tier of beams to the curb, which serve as 
supports for walls, piers, columns, or other structural parts of a building or structure. 
(B. C., §26.) 

2. Materials. Foundation walls shall be built of approved masonry, reinforced 
concrete or steel protected by masonry. All masonry foundation walls shall be laid 
in cement mortar. (B. C., §26.) 

3. Thickness. If built of rubble stone, foundation walls shall be at least & inches 
thicker than the walls next above them, but not less than 18 inches in any case. If 


85 


CHAP. 5, ART. 13, SECS. 250-251. 


built of brick, concrete or hollow building blocks, they shall be at least 4 inches 
thicker than the walls next above them, but not less than 12 inches thick in any case. 
For each additional 10 feet, or part thereof, below the depth of 12 feet below the curb 
level, the thickness shall be increased 4 inches. (B. C., §26.) 

4. Brick. When brickwork in foundation walls is stepped up from the footings, 
the offsets, if laid in single courses, shall not exceed 14% inches, or if laid in double 
courses, shall not. exceed 3 inches. (B. C., §26.) : 

5. Stone. Rubble stone masonry, unless built in dressed, level courses, shall not 
be used for buildings exceeding 75 feet in height. (B. C., §26.) 

6. Hollow building blocks. Foundation walls of hollow building blocks may be 
used only when the upper walls are of frame or hollow building block construction. 
The hollow spaces in the blocks shall be filled, as the construction progresses, with 
concrete of not less than 1 part of cement to 9 parts of aggregate. (New.) 


§237. Retaining walls. 


All walls built to retain or support adjoining earth or rock, including foundation 
walls subjected to pressure from adjoining earth or rock, shall be constructed of 
approved masonry or reinforced concrete and so designed that in resisting the pres- 
sures to which they are subjected, including any water pressure that may exist, the 
working stresses of the materials shall not be exceeded, the soil shall not be over- 
loaded and the stability of the wall shall be insured. (New.)

2. Protectkon against freezing. No masonry shall be built when the temperature 
is below 28 degrees F., on a rising temperature, or 32 degrees on a falling temperature 
~ at the point where the work is in progress. No frozen materials shall be built upon. 
(B. C., §28.) 

3. Wetting brick. All brick shall be thoroughly wet just previous to being laid, 
except in freezing weather, when they shall be thoroughly dry. (B. C., §28.) 


4. Erection of walls and mers. Masonry wall and piers shall be built to a line 
and carried up plumb. In each story the walls shall be carried up full thickness to 
the top of the beams above. No wall of any building shall be built up more than 2 
stories in advance of any other portions of the walls of the building, provided that 
where walls are carried independently by girders at each floor this provision shall 
not apply. All walls that meet or intersect shall be bonded or anchored to each other 
in an approved manner. Any pier having less than 4 square feet of cross section, 
when located at an intersection with a wall, shall be bonded into and built as part 
of that wall. (B..C., §28.) 


5. Piers. Every pier supporting a girder, arch, column or a lintel spanning an 
opening over 10 feet, upon which a wall rests, shall be built. of approved masonry. 
Every such pier having a height of more than 10 times its least dimensions, and 
every isolated pier built, of brick or hollow building blocks, having less than 9 square 
feet of cross section shall, at vertical intervals of not more than 30 inches, have built 
into it bond stones not less than 4 inches thick, or approved perforated steel or cast 
iron plates of the full size of the pier. Isolated piers shall not exceed in height 
10 times their least dimensions. 


6. Arches and lintels. Door and window opénings in walls shall be spanned 
by arches, or lintels having a bearing at each end of not less than 5 inches. In walls 
of non-fireproof building, when the thickness of the lintel is less than the thickness of 
the wall to be supported, a timber lintel may be placed on the inside of the wall 
resting at each end not more than 2 inches on the wall, and chamfered or cut to 
serve as centre for a rowlock or keyed arch. When the opening is more than 6 feet 
in width, templates shall be provided under the ends of lintels resting on the walls. 
unless the pressure under the lintel does not cause a working stress in the masonry 
greater than specified in article 3 of this chapter. (B. C.,, §42.) 


7. Timber in walls. No timber, except lintels, provided for in subdivision 6 of 
this section, and nailing blocks not over 8 inches in length, shall be placed in any 
masonry wall. (B. C., §52.) 


8. Bracing during construction. The walls and beams of every building during 
erection or alteration shall be strongly braced from the beams of each story, and 
when required shall also be braced from the outside until the building is enclosed. 


(B,5C., §41.) 
§252. Brick masonry. 


_ Except when laid in Flemish bond or faced with running bond, every sixth 
course in brick walls shall be a heading course. When running bond is used, every 
sixth course shall be bonded into the backing by cutting the course of the face brick 
and putting in diagonal headers behind the same, or by splitting the face brick in 
half and backing the same with a continuous row of headers. Where face brick is 
used of a different thickness from the brick used for backing, the courses of the face 
brick and backing shall be brought to a level at intervals of not more than 6 courses 
in height of the backing, and the face brick shall be properly tied to the backing by 
a full heading course of the face brick or other approved method. Face brick shall 
be laid at the same time as the backing, and shall in no case be laid after the backing 
is in place. (B. C., §28.)

CHAP. 6, ART. 13, SECS. 253-256. 


§253. Stone masonry. 

1. Workmanship. No stone shall be laid in a wall in any other position than on 
its natural bed. Stones shall be firmly bedded in cement mortar and all spaces and 
joints thoroughly filled. No stone shall be used that does not bond or extend into 
the wall at least 6 inches. All headers shall be at least 12 inches in width and 8 
inches in thickness, and consist of good flat stones. (B. C., §26.) 


2. Bond. All stone walls 24 inches or less in thickness shall have at least 1 
header extending through the wall in every 3 feet in height from the bottom of the 
wall, and in every 3 feet in length, and if over 24 inches in thickness, shall have 1 
header for every 6 superficial feet on both sides of the wall, laid on top of each other 
to bond together, and running into the wall at least 2 feet. (B. C., §26.)

1. Construction. When walls of hollow building blocks are decreased in thick- 
ness, the blocks in the top course of the thicker wall shall be filled solidly with con- 
crete or covered with slabs of hard burned terra cotta or concrete at least 1 inch in 
thickness. Terra cotta or concrete templates of approved size and thickness shall be 
placed under all floor beams and girders properly to distribute the load. (New.) 


2. Veneering. Hollowing building blocks of terra cotta used in exterior walls shall 
be extra hard burned or veneered with brick, architectural terra cotta, or stone, or 
covered on the exposed surface. with at least %4 of an inch of Portland cement 
stucco. When walls of hollow building blocks are veneered with brick, the facing 
shall be bonded to the backing with headers every sixth course of the brickwork. 
(New.) 


3. Lamitation. Walls of hollow building blocks shall not be used in buildings 
over 40 feet in height, except that in buildings of skeleton construction terra cotta

CHAP. 5, ART. 15, SECS. 301-302. 


3. Workmanship. a. Joints. Cast-iron columns shall be machined faced at the 
end to a true surface perpendicular to the axis. They shall be bolted together with 
at least 4 bolts, not less than % of an inch in diameter, passing through the flanges 
the bolts being of sufficient length to allow the nuts to be screwed up tightly; and 
as each column is placed in position, the bolts shall also be placed in position and 
the nuts shall be screwed up tightly. (B. C., $112.) 

b. Flanges. Where cast-iron columns rest one on top of another, the top flange 
of the lower column shall project on all sides not less than 3 inches from the outer 
surfaces of the column, and the shape and dimensions of the bottom flange of the 
upper column shall be the same as those of the top flange of the lower column, except

parts of the structural frame of buildings which are required to resist stress due to 
wind... (BrvG crs ti2) 


5. Inspection. No cast-iron column shall be set in place until it has passed 
an inspection satisfactory to the superintendent of buildings. Wherever blowholes 
or imperfections are found in a cast-iron column, which reduce the area of the cross 
section at that point more than 10 per cent., such column shall be condemned. Cast- 
iron column not cast with one open side or back, shall have % inch holes drilled in 
the shaft to exhibit the thickness of the castings, as may be required by the super-

No material, whether in the body of the column or used as a lattice bar or stay plate, 
shall be used of less thickness than 1/32 of its unsupported width, measured between 
centers of rivets transversely, or 1/16 the distance between centers of rivets in the 
direction of the stress. Stay plates are to have not less than 4 rivets, and are to be 
spaced so that the ratio of length to the least radius. of gyration of the parts con- 
nected does not excecd 40, the distance between nearest rivets of 2 stay plates in this 
case being considered as length. In built-up columns the thickness of any outstanding 
member shall not be less than 1/12 the width of the outstanding portion. (B. C., 
§111.) 

3. Joints. The ends of all columns shall be faced to a plane surface at right 
angles to the axis of the columns. Wherever practicable the connection between them 
shall be made with splice plates. When splice plates cannot be used a connection 
formed of plates and angles designed properly to distribute the stress, may be used. 
‘Where any part of the section of a column projects beyond that of the column above 
or below, the difference shall be made up by filling plates secured to the column by 
the proper number of rivets. All column connections shall be riveted. (B. C., §111.)

top of the slab, by the cross-sectional area in square inches per foot of width of the 
tensional steel, divided by the square of the span in feet, all multiplied by the follow- 
ing co-efficients when cinder concrete is used, 14,000 if the reinforcement is not 
continuous over the supports, 18,000 if the reinforecment consists of rods or other 
shapes securely hooked over or attached to the supports, and 26,000 if the reinforce- 
ment consists of steel fabric continuous over the supports, and, when stone con- 
crete is used, 16,000, 20,000 and 30,000, respectively.

capacity of any form of concrete floor filling approved as fireproof under the pro- 
visions of this article, by the usual methods of calculation, provided the stresses used, 
in pounds per square inch, shall not exceed 300 for cinder concrete in compression, 
16,000 for steel in tension, and 50 for bond between cinder concrete and steel, or 
in the case of stone concrete, the values fixed by article 16. (B. C., §106.)

cation for not less than 10 minutes of a hose stream from a 1% inch nozzle at 60 
pounds nozzle pressure, without appreciable SOR a SAME or the passage of flame 
through the floor during the test. 

b. Load tests. When the strength of any floor filling cannot be determined by 
the methods prescribed in this section or by the application of accepted engineering 
formule the safe uniformity distributed carrying capacity shall be taken as 1/6 of 
the total load causing failure in a full-sized construction with the load applied at 2 
points each at 1/3 of the span from the ends of the span. (B. C., §106.) 


6. Special roof construction. For mansards and dormers, roofs of bulkheads 
and roofs having a pitch of more than 30 degrees with the horizontal, blocks of 
terra cotta, stone or cinder concrete, or gypsum containing not more than 25 per 
cent., by weight of cinders, asbestos fibre, wood chips or vegetable fibre, not less than 
2 inches thick, resting on steel shapes spaced not more than 1 foot for each inch

the highest point of contact with the roof. Every chimney shall be properly capped 
with terra cotta, stone, cast iron or other approved incombustible, weatherproof ma- 
terial, except that on buildings 40 feet or less in height the top courses of a brick 
chimney may be finished off by being carefully bonded and anchored together to serve 
as coping. 

2. Supports. All chimneys shall be wholly supported by stone, brick or self- 
supporting fireproof construction. No chimney shall rest or be built upon any wood 
construction. 

3. Flues for low grade devices. The smoke flues of stoves, cooking ranges, hot 
air, hot water and low pressure steam heating furnaces, and all other heat producing 
devices graded as low, shall be encased in brickwork or concrete not less than 8 
inches thick, except that for smoke flues exclusively used for ordinary stoves, ranges 
or open fireplaces when no combustible studding, furring or sheathing is placed against 
it, such brickwork or concrete may be reduced to not less than 4 inches. In chim- 
neys of stone, the stone work of such flues shall be 4 inches thicker than required 
for brick. Every flue coming under the provisions of this subdivision hereafter 
erected shall be lined with well-burnt terra cotta pipe, from the bottom of the 
flue, or from the throat of the fireplace if the flue starts from a fireplace, for the 
entire height of the chimney. Such lining pipes shall be built in as the flues are 
carried up, laid end to end in cement mortar so as to make a smooth flue. Where 2 
or more smoke flues are contained in the same chimney, the withes shall be either 
brick not less than 4 inches thick, or concrete or grout not less than 1 inch thick, 
provided, however, that every third withe shall consist of brick. 

4. Flues for medium grade devices. The smoke flues of high pressure steam 
boilers, smoke houses and all other heat producing devices graded as medium shall 
be encased in brickwork or concrete not less than 8 inches thick, or stonework not 
less than 12 inches thick, and in addition, shall be lined with not less than 4 inches 
of fire brick, laid in fire mortar, for a distance of at least 25 feet from the point 
where the smoke connection of the device enters the flue. 

5. Flues for high grade devices. The smoke flues or cupolas, brass furnaces, 
porcelain baking kilns and all other heat producing devices graded as high shall be 
built with double walls, each not less than 8 inches in thickness, with an air space 
of not less than 2 inches between them. The inside of the interior walls shall be of 
firebrick not less than 4 inches in thickness. 

6. Certaun flues required. In every building hereafter erected exceeding 40 feet 
in height, where 1 or more-smoke flues start from the cellar or lowest story, at

pendent or party, along a property line or within 3 feet thereof, extends above the 
top of any chimney, smoke flue or smokestack of an adjoining building or struc- 
ture, the owner of the building, wall or structure so erected, altered, enlarged or 
raised, shall, at his own expense, carry up, either independently or in his own build- 
ing, wall or structure, all chimneys, smoke flues and smokestacks of such adjoining 
building or structure within 10 feet of any portion of the said wall extending above 
such chimney, flue or stack. The construction of such chimneys, flues or stacks shall 
conform to the requirements of this article applying thereto, but in no case shall 
the internal area of any flue or stack as raised be less than that of the existing flue 
or stack. All such chimneys, flues or stacks shall be carried above the walls in 
question to the heights prescribed, and shall, furthermore, be so constructed, sup- 
ported and braced as to be at all times safe. 


b. It shall be the duty of the owner of the building, wall or structure to be 
erected, altered, enlarged or raised to notify in writing, at least 10 days before 
such work is begun, the owner of the chimneys, flues or stacks affected, of his in- 
tention to carry up such chimneys, flues or stacks as herein provided, and unless

Nothing herein contained or in the rules adopted hereunder shall require the alter- 
ation or reconstruction of any existing work that was lawfully installed, nor prevent 
repairs or the addition of new fixtures to existing work in conformity with the practice 
followed in the original installation; provided, however, that, when such repairs involve

found satisfactory and the test requirements are complied with, he shall issue a 
certificate to that effect. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the use of existing 
systems of gas piping without further inspection or test, unless the superintendent of 
buildings has reason to believe that defects exist which make the system dangerous

laid, shall be filled with clean earth, well rammed down as put in. 


4. Weather delays. Whenever in consequence of the weather or any process of 
law, or other unexpected obstacle, the work shall be stopped for so long a time that 
public travel shall be obstructed, the trench shall be refilled and repaved as if the 
work contemplated in the permit was actually completed. 


5. Laws and ordinances to be complied with. All work done under the permit 
shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the commissioner, and in 
strict compliance with all applicable Jaws and ordinances, and the rules and regulations

the work of restoring the same shall be begun within 24 hours after notice from the 
commissioner so to do, and completed as rapidly as possible to the satisfaction of the 
commissioner, and, in case of failure to so commence and complete the work it may 
be done by the commissioner in such manner as he deems proper and to his satis- 
faction, the permittee shall agree to pay the cost of restoring same, as shown by the 
books and accounts of the department of docks and ferries. Where the pavement 
opened is asphalt, the permittee shall agree to send an order to the asphalt com- 
pany which has the contract for the maintenance thereof, to re-lay it at the expense

wrecked and be abandoned for 10 days, the commissioner shall notify the owner of 
such abandoned property or vessel, if known to him, to remove the same forthwith, 
but if the owner be not known to the commissioner, or is not within the city, or shall] 
fail to comply with the notice, the commisioner shall cause such obstruction or vessel 
to be removed, and the expense of such removal shall be recoverable by action from 
the owner and shall be a lien on the property or vessel so removed until paid. If such 
property or vessel be not claimed within 30 days after removal, the commissioner shal] 
advertise the same for sale, at public auction to the highest bidder, in the City Record 
for 6 days. The proceeds of each such sale shall be paid into the city treasury. (Dept.

§201. Generators. 

a. Generators must. be located in a dry place. 

b. Generators must never be placed in a room where any hazardous process is 
carried on, nor in places where they would be exposed to inflammable gases or flyings 
of combustible materials. : 

c. Generators must, when operating at a potential in excess of 550 volts, have 
_ their base frames permanently and effectively grounded. 

Generators must, when operating at a potential of 550 volts or less, have their 
base frames permanently and effectively grounded wherever feasible. Where ground- 
ing of the frame is impracticable, special permission for its omission may be given in 
writing, in which case the frame must be permanently and effectively insulated. 
Wooden base frames used for this purpose, and wooden floors which are depended 
upon for insulation where, for any reason, it is necessary to omit the base frames. 
must be kepi filled to prevent absorption of moisture, and must be kept clean and dry. 

d. Constant potential generators, except alternating current machines and their 
exciters, must be protected from excessive current by safety fuses or equivalent 
devices of approved design. 

For two-wire D. C. generators, single-pole protection will be considered as satisfy- 
ing the above rule, provided the safety device is so located and connected that the 
means for opening same is actuated by the entire generator current, and the action 
thereof will completely open the generator circuit. 

For three-wire direct-current generators compound or shunt wound, a safety 
device must be placed in each armature lead, and so connected as to receive the entire 
current from the armature. Fuses will not be acceptable. The safety device must 
consist of either: (1) a double pole, double coil, overload circuit breaker, or (2) a 
four-pole circuit breaker connected in the main and equalizer leads, and tripped by 
means of two overload devices, one in each armature lead. 

The safety devices above required must be so interlocked that no one pole can 
be opened without simultaneously disconnecting both sides of the armature from the 
system. 

e. Generators must each be provided with a name-plate, giving the maker’s name, 
the capacity in volts and amperes, and the normal speed in revolutions per minute. 

f. Terminal blocks when used on generators must be made of approved non- 
combustible, non-absorptive, insulating material, such as slate, marble or porcelain. 

g. The use of soft rubber bushings to protect the lead wires coming through 
the frames of generators is permitted, except when installed where oils, grease, oily 
vapors or other substances known to have rapid deleterious effect on rubber are 
present in such quantities and in such proximity to the generator as may cause such 
bushings to be liable to rapid destruction. In such cases hard wood, properly filled, 
or preferably porcelain or micanite bushings must be used. 


§202. Conductors from generators to switchboards, rheostats or other in- 
struments, and thence to outside lines. 

a. Conductors must be in plain sight or readily accessible. Wires from generator 
to switchboard may, however, be placed in a run-way in the brick or cement pier on 
which the generator stands. When protection against moisture is Be Cesseey cable 
with grounded lead sheath or grounded conduct must be used. 


173 


CHAP. 9, ART. 2, SECS. 206-207. 


b. Conductors must have an approved insulating covering as called for in 
article 4 of this chapter for similar work, except that in central stations, on exposed 
circuits, the wire which is used must have a heavy braided, non-combustible outer 
covering. Conductors used as bus bars may be made of bare metal. Wires with 
inflammable outer braiding, when brought close together, as in the rear of switch- 
boards, must, when required, be each surrounded with a tight, non-combustible outer 
cover. Flame proofing must be stripped back on all cables a sufficient amount to give 
the necessary insulation distances for the voltage of the circuit on which the cable 
is used. 

ce. Conductors must, where not in a circuit, be kept so rigidly in place that they 
cannot come in contact. 

d. Conductors must in all other respects be installed with the same precautions 
as required in article 4 of this chapter for wires carrying a current of the same 
vclume and potential. 

e. In wiring switchboards, the ground detector, voltmeter, pilot lights and 
potential transformers must be connected to a circuit of not less than No. 14 B. & 
§. gauge wire that is protected by approved fuses. This circuit is not to carry over 
660 watts. 

For the protection of instruments and pilot lights and switchboards, approvea 
N. E. Code standard enclosed fuses are preferred, but approved enclosed fuses of 
other designs of not over 2 amperes capacity may be used. 


§203. Switchboards. 


a. Switchboards must be so placed as to reduce to a minimum the danger of 
communicating fire to adjacent combustible material. 

Switchboards must not be built up to the ceiling, a space of 3 feet being left, 
if possible, between the ceiling and the board. The space back of the board must be* 
kept clear of rubbish and must not be used for storage purposes. 

b. Switchboards must be made of non-combustible material. 

c. Switchboards must be accessible from all sides when the connections are on 
the back, but may be placed against a brick or stone wall when the wiring is entirely 
on the face. 

If the wiring is on the back, there must be a clear space of at least 18 inches 
between the wall and the apparatus on the board, and even if the wiring is entirely 
on the face, it is much better to have the board set out from the wall. 

d. Switchboards must be kept free from moisture. 

e. Wires with inflammable outer braiding, when brought close together, as in 
the rear of switchboards, must, when required, be each surrounded with a tight, non- 
combustible outer cover. 

Flame proofing must be stripped back on all cables a sufficient amount to give 
the necessary insulation distances for the voltage of the circuit on which the cable 
is used. 


§204. Resistance devices. 


a. Resistance devices must be placed on a switchboard, or a distance of at least 
1 foot from combustible material, or separated therefrom by a slab or panel of non- 
combustible, non-absorptive insulating material such as slate, soapstone or marble, 
somewhat larger than the rheostat, which must be secured in position independently 
of the rheostat supports. Bolts for supporting the rheostatt shall be countersunk at 
least 1-8 inch below the surface at the back of the slab and the bolt heads shall be 
covered with insulating material. For proper mechanical strength, slab should be 
of a thickness consistent with the size and weight of the rheostat, but in no case less 
than 4 inch. 


174 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


If resistance devices are installed in rooms where dust or combustible flyings 
are liable to accumulate on them, they must be equipped with dust-proof face-plates. 


b. Where protective resistances are necessary in connection with automatic rheo- 
‘stats, incandescent lamps may be used, provided that they do not carry or control the 
main current nor constitute the regulating resistance of the device. 

When so used, lamps must be mounted in porcelain receptacles upon non-com- 
bustible supports, and must be so arranged that they cannot have impressed upon them 
a voltage greater than that for which they are rated. ‘They must in all cases be 
provided with a name-plate, which shall be permanently attached beside the porcelain 
receptacle or receptacles and stamped with the wattage and lekebin ke of the lamp or 
lamps to be used in each receptacle. 


Under special authorization in writing, given in advance, incandescent lamps 
may be used for the purpose of resistances in series with other devices when mounted 
in porcelain receptacles upon non-combustible supports and so arranged that they 
cannot have impressed upon them a voltage greater than that for which they are rated. 


c. Wherever insulated wire is used for connection between resistance elements 
and the contact device of a rheostat, the insulation must be of approved slow-burning 
or other heat-resisting type. For large rheostats and similar resistances, where the 
contact devices are not mounted upon them, the connecting wires having slow burning 
insulation may be so arranged in groups that the maximum difference of potential 
between any two wires in a group shall not exceed 75 volts. Each group of wires 
must either be mounted on non-combustible, non-absorptive insulators giving at least 
% inch separation from surface wired over, or, especially where it is necessary to 
protect same from mechanical injury, each group of wires may be encased in approved 
flexible tubing and placed in approved conduit, the flexible tubing to extend at least 
1 inch beyond the ends of the conduit. 


§205. Lightning arresters. 

a. Lightning arresters must be attached to each wire of every overhead circuit 
connected with the station. 

b. Lightning arresters must be located in readily accessible places away from 
combustible materials, and as near as practicable to the point where the wires enter 
the building. 

In all cases, kinks, coils and sharp bends in the wires between ‘the arresters and 
the outdoor lines must be avoided as far as possible. 

ec. Lightning arresters must be connected with a thoroughly good and permanent 
ground connection by metallic strips or wires having a conductivity not less than 
that of a No. 6 B. & S. gauge copper wire, which must be run as nearly in a straight 
line as possible from the arresters to the ground connection. 

Ground wires for lightning arresters must not be attached to gas pipes within the 
buildings nor be run inside of iron pipes, unless electrically and mechanically attached 
to both ends of the pipe. 

d. All choke coils or other attachments, inherent to the lightning protection equip- 
ment, shall have an insulation from the ground or other conductors equal at least to 
the insulation demanded at other points of the circuit in the station. 


§206. Care and attendance. 
a. A competent man must be kept on duty where generators are operating. 


b. Oily waste must be kept in approved waste cans and removed daily. 


§207. Testing of insulation resistance. 
a. All circuits except such as are permanently grounded in accordance with 


8315 of this chapter must be provided with reliable ground detectors. Detectors which 
indicate continuously and give an instant and permanent indication of a ground 


175 


CHAP. 9, ART, 2, SEC. 208. 


are preferable. Ground wires from detectors must not be attached to gas pipes within 
the building. 

b. Where continuously indicating detectors are not feasible the circuits should 
be tested at least once per day, and preferably oftener. 


§208. Motors. 

a. Motors must, when operating at a potential in excess of 550 volts, have no 
exposed live metal parts, and must have their base frames permanently and effectively 
grounded. 

Motors operating at a potential of 550 volts or less must have their base frames 
permanently and effectively grounded wherever feasible. Where grounding of the 
frame is impracticable, special permission for its omission may be given in writing, 
in which case the frame must be permanently and effectively insulated. Wooden 
base frames used for this purpose, and wooden floors, which are depended upon for 
insulation where, for any reason, it is necessary to omit the base frames, must be 
kept filled to prevent absorption of moisture, and must be kept clean and dry. 

b. Motors operating at a potential of 550 volts or less must be wired with the 
same precautions as required by article 4 of this chapter, for wires carrying a cur- 
rent of the same volume. 

Motors operating at a potential between 550 and 3,500 volts must, except in cen- 
tral or sub-stations, be wired with approved multiple conductor, metal sheathed cable | 
in approved metal conduit. All apparatus and wiring connected to the hign tension 
circuit must be completely enclosed in substantial grounded metal shields or casings, 
and the conduit must enter and be properly secured to such casings or to suitable 
terminal boxes screwed or bolted to the casings. 


The insulation of the several conductors for high-potential motors, where leaving 
the metal sheath of cables, must be thoroughly protected from moisture and me- 
chanical injury. This may be accomplished by means of a pot head or some equiva- 
lent method. The conduit must be substantially bonded to the metal casings of all 
fittings and apparatus connected to the inside high-tension circuit. 

Where outside wires ‘directly enter the motor room, special permission, in writing, 
must be obtained to install the wires for high-potential motors according to the gen- 
eral rules for high-potential systems. 

Conductors carrying the current of only one motor must be designed to carry 
a current at least 25 per cent. greater than that for which the motor is rated. Where 
the wires under this rule would be overfused in order to provide for the starting cur- 
rent, as in the case of many of the alternating current motors, the conductors must 
be of such size as to be properly protected by these larger fuses. 

The current used in determining the size of the conductor carrying the current 
of only one varying (or variable) speed motor must be the percentage of the 30- 
minute current rating of the motor as given for the several classifications of service 


in the following table:

“on” or “off” (except as provided for electric cranes, see §443c of this chapter). Small 
motors may be grouped under tthe protection of a single set of fuses, provided the rated 
capacity of the fuses does not exceed 10 amperes, and the total wattage of the circuit 
does not exceed 660. With motors of % horse power or less, on circuits where the 
voltage does not exceed 300, single pole switches may be used as allowed in §424c 
of this chapter. The switch and rheostat must be located within sight of the motor, 
except in cases where special permission to locate them elsewhere is given in writing. 

Where the circuit-breaking attachment. on the motor-starting device disconnects 
all wires of the circuit, the switch called for in this section may be omitted. 

Overload-release attachments on motor-starting rheostats will not be considerea 
to take the place of the cut-out required by this section. 

An automatic circuit-breaker disconnecting all wires of the circuits may serve as 
both switch and cut-out. 

‘Where a rubber-covered conductor. carries the current of only one A. C. motor 
of a type requiring large starting current it may be protected by a fuse or an auto- 
matic circuit breaker without time limit. device, rated in accordance with Table B 
of §418 of this chapter. The rated continuous current capacity of a time limit circuit 
breaker protecting a motor of the above type need not be greater ‘than 125 per cent. of 
the motor current rating, providing the time limit device is capable of preventing the 
breaker opening during the starting period. 


d. Rheostats must be so installed as to comply with all the requirements of §204 
of this chapter. Auto starters must comply with requirements of §204c of this 
chapter. 

Auto starters, unless equipped with tight casings enclosing all current-carrying 
parts, in all wet, dusty or linty places, must be enclosed in approved cut-out boxes 
or cabinets. Where there is any liability of short circuits across their exposed live 
parts due to accidental contacts, a railing must be erected around them. 


e. Motors must not be run in series-multiple or multiple-series, except on con- 
stant-potential systems, and then only by special permission. 


f. Motors must be covered with a waterproof cover when not in use, and, if 
deemed necessary, must be enclosed in approved cases. Such enclosures must be 
readily accessible, dust-proof and sufficiently ventilated to prevent an excessive rise 
of temperature. Where practicable the sides should be made largely of glass, so that 
the motor may be always plainly visible. 

The use of enclosed type motors is recommended in dusty places, being preferable 
to wooden boxing. 

Where deemed necessary, motors permanently located on wooden floors must be 
provided with suitable drip pans. 

h. Motors must each be provided with a name-plate, giving the maker’s name, 
the capacity in volts and amperes (or watts), and the normal speed in revolutions per 
minute. 

All varying (or variable) speed motors except those used for railway service 
must be marked with the maximum current which they can safely carry for 30 min- 
utes, starting cold. . 

i. Terminal blocks, when used on motors, must be made of approved non-com- 
bustible, non-absorptive insulating material, such as slate, marble, or porcelain. 

j. Adjustable-speed motors, unless of special and appropriate design, if controlled 
by means of field regulation, must be so arranged and connected that they cannot 
be started under weakened field. 

k. The use of soft rubber bushings to protect the lead wires coming through 
the frame of motors is permitted, except when installed where oils, grease, oily vapors 
or other substances known to have rapid deleterious effect on rubber are present in 


177 


CHAP. 9, ART. 3, SECS. 313-316. 


such quantities and in such proximity to motors as may cause such bushings to be 
liable to rapid destruction. In such cases hardwood properly filled, or preferably 
porcelain or micanite bushings, must be used. 


§209. Railway power plants. 

a. Each feed wire before it leaves the power plant must be protected by an 
approved automatic circuit-breaker, or other device, which will immediately cut off the 
current in case of an accidental ground. This device must be mounted on a fireproof 
base, and in full view and reach of the attendant. 


§210. Storage or primary batteries. 

a. When current for light and power is taken from primary or secondary bat- 
teries, the same general regulations must be observed as apply to similar apparatus 
fed from generators developing the same difference of potential. 

b. Storage battery rooms must be thoroughly ventilated. 

c. Special attention is directed to the rules for wiring in rooms where acid 
fumes exist (see §426, i, j, of this chapter). 

d. All secondary batteries must be mounted on non-absorptive, non-combustible 
insulators, such as glass or thoroughly vitrified and glazed porcelain. 

e. The use of any metal liable to corrosion must be avoided in cell connections 
of secondary batteries. 


§211. Transformers. 

a. In central or sub-stations the transformers must be so placed that smoke 
from the burning out of the coils or the boiling over of the oil (where oil-filled cases 
are used) can do no harm. 

b. In central or sub-stations casings of all transformers must be permanently and 
effectively grounded. 

The cases or frames of transformers used exclusively to supply current to switch- 
board instruments must be grounded, unless they are installed and guarded in all 
respects as required for the higher voltage circuit connected to them.

§312. Wires on outside of buildings. 

a. This article shall not apply to conductors on highways. 

b. Wires must, for services of No. 6 B. & S. gauge or smaller, consist of ap- 
proved rubber covered multiple conductor cable and must enter the building in the 
manner prescribed by the second paragraph of §312f of this chapter. At the first 
point of attachment to building frame, multiple conductor cables must either be secured 
to strain insulators spaced not less than one foot from any adjacent woodwork and in 
turn secured to petticoat or strain insulators, or the conductor must be separately 
attached to petticoat insulators spaced not less than 6 inches apart. If necessary to 
carry the service cable upon the face of the building before entering, it may be ex- 
tended in flexible metal conduit, or a waterproof conduit system must be employed. 

c. Wires must be at least 8 feet above the highest point of roofs over which 
they pass or to which they are attached and roof structures must be substantially 
constructed. Wherever feasible, wires crossing buildings must be supported on poles 
independent of the buildings. Roof lines will be permitted only under special authori- 
zation in writing. 


178 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


d. Wires extended on the exterior walls of buildings must have a rubber insu- 
lating covering, and, if not protected by fuses, must be kept at least 1 foot apart and 
supported on petticoat insulators of glass or porcelain placed not more than 15 feet 
apart, the distance between supports to be shortened if wires are liable to be dis- 
turbed. 


e. Wires must be so spliced or joined as to be both mechanically and electri- 
cally secure without solder. The joints must then be soldered, to insure preservation, 
and covered with an insulation equal to that on the conductors. 


All joints must be soldered unless made with some form ef approved splicing 
device. 


f. Wires must, where they enter buildings, have drip loops outside, and the 
holes through which the conductors pass must be bushed with non-combustible, non- 
abortive insulating tubes, slanting upward toward the inside; or the service wires 
‘may be brought into buildings through a single iron conduit, in which case the con- 
duit shall be equipped with an approved service-head. The inner end must extend 
to the service cut-out, and if a cabinet is required by this chapter must properly enter 
the cabinet. 


Metal conduits containing service wires must be insulated from the metal con- 
duit, metal moulding, or armored cable system within the building and all metal work 
on or in the building, or they must have the metal of the conduit permanently and 
effectually grounded to water piping, gas piping or other suitable grounds, provided 
that when connections are made to gas piping, they must be on the street side of the 
meter. This ground connection to be independent of and in addition to any other 
ground wire on metal conduit, metal moulding or armored cable systems within the 
building. 


$313. Services. 


a. Each building shall be supplied by a separate service. 


b. Where a row of separate buildings is to receive its supply from an overhead 
main, one service cable shall be run from the pole to the row, and from the first at- 
tachment to the building sub-services or a service main shall extend in conduit along 
the face of the row. One service cable shall supply not more than 5 buildings, except 
under special permission in writing, given in advance. 

The same plan of sub-services may be employed in connection with underground 
services, under the same restrictions. 


§314. Transformers. 


a. Transformers must not be attached to any building when the potential exceeds 
550 volts, except by special permission, and when attached to buildings must be 
separated therefrom by substantial supports. 


§315. Grounding low-potential circuits. 

a. Direct-current three-wire systems. Neutral wire must (except where supplied 
from private industrial power or lighting plants where the voltage does not exceed 
550 volts) be grounded and the following rules must be complied with: 

1. The neutral wire must be permanently and effectively grounded at the central 
station. The ground connection must include all available underground complete 
metallic piping systems. 

2. In underground systems the neutral wire must also be grounded at each dis- 
tributing box through 'the box or on the individual service as provided in paragraphs 
ce to g, inclusive, of this section. 


179 


ELECTRICAL CONTRG.L. 


3. In overhead systems the neutral wire must be grounded every 500 feet, as 
provided in paragraphs c to g of this section. 


b. Alternating-current secondary systems. Transformer secondaries of distribut- 
ing systems (except where supplied from private industrial power or lighting plants 
where the primary voltage does not exceed 550 volts) must be grounded, provided 
the maximum difference of potential between the grounded point and any other point 
in the circuit does not exceed 320 volts. The following rules must be complied with: 


1. The grounding must be made att the neutral point or wire, whenever a neutral 
point or wire is accessible. 


2. When no neutral point or wire is accessible, one side of the secondary circuit 
must be grounded. 


3. The ground connection must be at the transformers or on the individual 
service, as provided in paragraphs c to g of this section, and when transformers feed 
systems with a neutral wire, the neutral wire must also be grounded at least every 
500 feet. 


c. Ground wire, in buildings. When the ground connection is inside of any 
building, ur the ground wire is inside of or attached to any building (except central 
or sub-stations) the ground wire must be of copper and have an approved rubber 
insulating covering, National Electrical Code Standard, for from 0 to 600 volts. 


d. Ground wire, sizes. The ground wire in direct-current three-wire systems 
must not at central stations be smaller than the neutral wire and not smaller than 
No. 6 B. & S. gauge elsewhere. The ground wire in alternating current: systems must 
never be less than No. 6 B. & S. gauge. 


On three-phase systems the ground wire must have a carrying capacity equal to 
that of any one of the three mains. 


e. Ground wire, installations. The ground wire must, except for central stations 
and transformer sub-stations. be kept outside of buildings as far as practicable, but 
may be directly attached to the building or pole by cleats or straps or on porcelain 
knobs. Staples must never be used. The wire must be carried in as nearly a straight 
line as practicable, avoiding kinks, coils and sharp bends, and must be protected when 
exposed to mechanical injury. 


f. Ground connections, central stations. The ground connections- for central 
stations, transformer sub-stations, and banks of transformers must be permanent and 
effective and must include all available underground piping systems, including the 
lead sheaths of underground cables. 


g. Ground connections, generally. For individual transformers and building serv- 
ices the ground connection may be made as in paragraph f of this section, or may 
be made to water piping systems running into buildings. 


With overhead service, this connection may be made by carrying the ground wire 
into the cellar and connecting on the street side of meters, main cocks, etc. 

Where the service enters 'the cellar or basement, this connection may be made by 
carrying the ground wire through the cellar or basement and connecting as above. 

Where the ground wire is run through any part of a building, unless run in 
approved conduit, it shall be protected by porcelain bushings through walls or partitions 
and shall be run in approved moulding, except that in basements it may be supported 
on porcelain. | 


Connections should not be made to piping systems which have cement joints, but 
should only be made to complete metallic pipe systems.

8416. Wires, general. 

a. Wires must not be of smaller size than No. 14 B. & S. gauge, except as 
allowed for fixture work and pendant cord. 

b. Conductors of size No. 8 B. & S. gauge or over used in connection with solid 
knobs must be securely tied thereto. If wires are used for tying they must have an 
insulation of the same type as the conductors they confine. Split knobs or cleats must 
be used for the support of conductors smaller than No. 8 B. & S. gauge. 

; Knobs or cleats which are arranged to grip the wire must be fastened by either 

screws or nails. If nails are used, they must be long enough to penetrate the wood- 
work not less than 1% the length of the knob and fully the thickness of the cleat, and 
must be provided with washers which will prevent, under reasonable usage, injury 
to the knobs or cleats. 

c. Wires must be so spliced or joined as to be both mechanically and electrically 
secure without solder. The joints must then be soldered unless made with some 
form of approved splicing device, and covered with an insulation equal to that on the 

- conductors. 

Stranded wires (except in flexible cords) must be soldered before being fastened 
under clamps or binding screws, and whether stranded or solid, when they have a 
conductivity greater than that of No. 8 B. & S. gauge they must be soldered into lugs 
for all terminal connections, except where an approved solderless terminal connector 
is used. 


181 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SEC. 419. 


d. Wires must be separated from contact with walls, floors, timbers or partitions 
through which they may pass by non-combustible, non-absorptive insulating tubes, 
such as glass or porcelain, except at outlets where approved flexible tubing is required. 

Bushings must be long enough to bush the entire length of the hole in one con- 
tinuous piece, or else the hole must first be bushed by a continuous waterproof tube. 
This tube may be a conductor, such as iron pipe. but in that case an insulating bush- 
ing must be pushed into each end of it, extending far enough to keep the wire avsv- 
lutely out of contact with the pipe. 

e. Where not enclosed in approved conduit, moulding or armored cable, and 
where liable to come in contact with gas, water or other metallic piping or other con- 
ducting material, wires must be separated therefrom by some continuous and firmly 
fixed non-conductor creating a permanent separation. Must not come nearer than 2 
inches to any other electric lighting, power or signaling wire, not enclosed as above, 
without being permanently separated therefrom by some continuous and firmly fixed 
non-conductor. The non-conductor used as a separator must be in addition to the 
regular insulation on the wires. Where tubes are used they must be securely fastened 
at the ends to prevent them from moving along the wire. 

Deviations from this rule may, when necessary, be allowed by special permission. 

f. Wires must be so placed in wet places that an air space will be left between 
conductors and pipes in crossing, and the former must be run in such a way that they 
cannot come in contact with the pipe accidentally. Wires should be run over, rather 
than under, pipes upon which moisture is likely to gather to which, by leaking, might 
cause trouble on a circuit. 

g. The installation of electrical conductors in moulding, or on insulators, in 
elevator shafts will not be approved, butt conductors may be installed in such shafts 
if encased in approved metal conduits or armored cables. 

h. In three-wire (not three-phase) systems, the neutral must be of sufficient 
capacity to carry the maximum current to which it may be subjected. 


§417. Underground conductors. 


a. Underground conductors must be protected against moisture and mechanical 
injury where brought into a building, and all combustible material must be kept from 
the immediate vicinity. 


b. Underground conductors must not be so arranged as to shunt the current 
through a building around any catch-box. 


c. Where underground service enters building through ‘tubes, the tubes shall be 
tightly closed at outlets with asphaltum or other non-conductor, to prevent gases 
from entering the building through such channels. 


d. No underground service from a subway to a building and no service from & 
private generating plant shall supply more than one building, except by special per- 
mission, unless the conductors are properly protected by fuses and are carried outside 
all the buildings but the one served. Where one or more buildings are supplied from 
another, the conductors are to be carried outside the buildings. Conductors carried 
under 2 inches of concrete under a building or buried back of 2 inches of concrete 
or brick within a wall are considered as lying outside the building. These require- 
ments do not apply to factory yards and factory buildings under single occupancy or 
management. 


§418. Table of allowable carrying capacities of wires. : 

a. The following table, showing the allowing carrying capacities of copper wires 
and cables of 98 per cent. conductivity, according to the standard adopted by the 
American Institute of Electrical Engineers, must be following in placing inte.ior 
conductors. 


182 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


For insulated aluminum wire the safe carrying capacity is 84 per cent. of that 
given in the following table for copper wire with the same kind of insulation:

§419. Switches, cut-outs, circuit-breakers, etc. 


a. On constant-potential circuits, all service switches and all switches controlling 
circuits supplying current to motors or heating devices, and all fuses, unless otherwise 
provided (for exceptions as to switches see §§208c, 425a and 448c of this chapter; 
for exceptions as to cut-outs see §423, a b of this chapter) must be so ‘arranged that 
the fuses will protect and the opening of the switch will disconnect all of the wires; 
that is, in the two-wire system the 2 wires, and in the three-wire system the 3 wires, 


183 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SEC. 428. 


must be protected by the fuses and disconnected by the operation of the switch. 


When installed without other automatic overload protective devices automatic 
overload circuit breakers must have the poles and trip coils so arranged as to afford 
complete protection against overloads and short circuits. In 2 or 3 phase three- 
wire circuits and 2-phase four-wire circuits there must be a trip-coil in each of 2 
phases, and in four-wire 3-phase circuits there must be a trip-coil in each phase. If a 
circuit breaker is used in place of the switch it must be so arranged that no one pole 
can be opened manually without disconnecting all the wires. 

This, of course, does not apply to ‘the grounded circuit of street railway systems. 


b. Switches, cutouts and circuit-breakers must, when placed where exposed to 
mechanical injury or in the immediate vicinity of easily ignitable stuff or where ex- 
posed to inflammable gases or dust, or flyings of combustible material, be mounted 
in approved cut-out boxes or cabinets, except oil switches, circuit breakers and similar 
‘devices which have approved casings. 


Cabinets and. cut-out boxes must be of metal when used with metal conduit, 
armored cable or metal moulding systems. 


In rooms where inflammable gases may exist, particularly in rooms or compart- 
ments containing mixing tanks used for the manufacture of inflammable mixtures, 
in rooms containing wash tanks and in dyeing room of dry cleaning and dry dyeing 
establishments; in rooms, vaults or compartments used for the storage of inflam- 
mable motion picture films or other nitro-cellulose products, and in cellars or base- 
ments used for storage of drugs, all devices which produce or create sparks or arcs 
must be placed in approved vapor-proof enclosures. 


ce. Switches, cut-outs and circuit-breakers must, when located where exposed to 
moisture as in basements and similar places, be mounted in approved cut-out boxes 
or cabinets, and when located in wet places or outside of buildings must be mounted 
in approved weatherproof cut-out boxes or cabinets. 

d. Time switches, sign flashes and similar appliances must be of approved design 
and enclosed in approved cabinets, except sign flashers mounted as described in §583b 
of this chapter. 

e. Switches, cut-outs and circuit-breakers must have the spacing within cabinets 
or cut-out boxes between the walls of the cabinet or cut-out box and current-carrying 
parts of devices as specified in §570 of this chapter. 


§420. Limitation of potential. 

The installation in any building, except a central station, or a eab-staten or a 
transformer vault, of electric light or power wiring or appliances operating at a 
potential in excess of 750 volts is prohibited. 


§421. Arc lamps. 

Arc lamps must be provided at all times with glass globes surrounding the are and 
securely fastened in place. Broken or cracked globes must not be used. Globes must 
be provided with wire netting having a mesh not exceeding 1%4 inches. The netting 
may be omitted where tight inner globes are employed. 


§423. Automatic cut-outs (fuses and circuit-breakers). 

a. Automatic cut-outs must be placed on all service wires, either overhead or 
underground, in the nearest accessible place to the point where they enter the building 
and inside the walls, and arranged to cut off the entire current from the building. 
Departure from this rule may be authorized only under special permission in. writing. 

Where the switch required by §424a of this chapter is inside the building, the 
cut-out required by this section must be placed so as to protect it, unless the switch is 


184 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


of the knife-blade type and is enclosed in an approved box or cabinet, under which 
conditions the switch may be placed between ithe source of the supply and the cut-out. 

Automatic cut-outs must not be placed in any permanently grounded service wire. 

In risks having private plants, the yard wires running from building to building 
are not considered as service wires, so that cut-outs would not be required where 
the wires enter buildings, provided that the next fuse back is small enough to properly 
protect the wires inside the building in question. 

b. Automatic cut-outs must be placed at every point where a change is made in 
the size of wire, unless the cut-out in the larger wire will protect the smaller (see 
§418 of this chapter). This requirement shall not apply to fixture wires and flexible 
cords, connected to branch circuits. ji 

Automatic cut-outs must not be placed in any permanently grounded wire, except 
as provided in paragraph d of this section. 

- ¢, Automatic cut-outs must be in plain sight or enclosed in an approved cabinet, 
and readily accessible. They must not be placed in the canopies or shells of fixtures. 

Link fuses may be used only when mounted on approved bases which, except on 
switchboards, must be mounted in approved cut-out boxes or cabinets. A space of at 
least 2 inches must be provided between the open-link fuses and metal, or metal lined 
walls, or metal, metal lined or glass paneled doors of cabinet or cut-out boxes. 

d. Automatic cut-outs must be so placed that no set of small motors, small heat- 
ing devices or incandescent lamps, whether grouped on one fixture or on several 
fixtures or pendants (nor more than 16 medium base sockets or 25 candelabra base 
sockets or lamp receptacles) requiring more than 660 watts will be dependent upon 
one cut-out. 

By special permission, in cases where wiring equal in size and insulation to No. 
14 B. & S. gauge approved rubber-covered wire is carried direct into keyless sockets 
or receptacles, and where the location of sockets and the receptacles is such as to 
render unlikely the attachment of flexible cords thereto, the circuits may be so 
arranged that not more than 1,320 watts (or 32 sockets or lamp receptacles) will be 
dependent upon the final cut-out. 

Except for signs and outline lighting, sockets and lamp receptacles will be consid- 
ered as requiring not less than 40 watts each if of medium size, or 25 watts if of can- 
delabra size. 

All wires of all branches or taps which are directly connected to lamp sockets or 
other translating devices, must be protected by proper fuses, except that by special 
permission in writing fuses may be omitted in grounded wires of such branches or 
taps. 

F The above shall also apply to motors, except that small motors may be grouped 
under the protection of a single set of fuses, provided the rate capacity of the fuses 
does not exceed 10 amperes. 

When 1,320 watts are dependent upon one fusible cut-out, as is allowed in theatre 
wiring, outline lighting, signs and large chandeliers, the fuses may be in accordance 
with the following table: 


PO RNA aNha Patel ar AEs ge RIOR, ary SPP Ae eo eS Se 20 amperes 
DP at0 V2bO Ola we re niet te kaenRs He lnate he siete os 94 nace 10 amperes 


e. The rated capacity of fuses must not exceed the allowable carrying capacity of 
the wires as given in $418 of this chapter. Circuit-breakers must not be set more 
than 30 per cent. above allowable carrying capacity of the wire, unless a fusible cut-out 
is also installed on the circuit. 

Where a rubber-covered conductor carries the current of only 1 A. C. motor 
of a type requiring large starting current, it may be protected by a fuse or an auto- 
matic circuit breaker without time limit device, rated in accordance with Table B 


185 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL, 


of §418 of this chapter. The rated continuous current capacity of a time limit circuit- 
breaker protecting a motor of the above type need not be greater than 125 per cent. of 
the motor current rating, providing the time limit device is capable of preventing the 
breaker opening during the starting period. 

For the protection of wires having safe carrying capacities exceeding the rated 
capacity of the largest approved enclosed type fuses, approved enclosed fuses arranged 
in multiple may be used, provided as few fuses as possible are used and the fuses 
are of equal capacity and provided the cut-out ‘terminals are mounted on a single 
continuous pair of substantial bus bars. The total capacity of the fuses should not 
exceed the safe carrying capacity of the wires. This does not apply to motor circuits. 

f. Each wire of motor circuits except on main switchboard or when otherwise 
subject to competent supervision, must be protected by an approved fuse whether auto- 
matic overload circuit breakers are installed or not. Single-phase motors may have 
one side protected by an approved automatic overload circuit-breaker only, if tthe other 
side is protected by an approved fuse. 

Circuit breakers will be approved for circuits having a maximum capacity greater 
than that for which approved enclosed fuses are rated. 


8424. Switches. 


a. Switches must be placed on all service wires, either overhead or underground, 
in the nearest readily accessible place ‘to the point where the wires enter the building, 
and arranged to cut off the entire current. Departure from this rule may be author- 
ized only under special permission in writing. 

Service cut-out and switch must be arranged to cut off current from all devices 
including meters. Service switches must indicate plainly whether they are open or 
closed. 

In risks having private plants the yard wires running from building to building are 
not considered as service wires, so that switches would not be required in each building 
if there are other switches conveniently located on the mains or if the generators 6 are 
near at hand. 

b. Switches must always be placed in dry, accessible places, and be grouped as far 
as possible (see §419c of this chapter). Single-throw knife switches must be so placed 
that gravity will not tend to close them. Double-throw knife switches may be mounted 
so that the throw will be either vertical or horizontal as preferred, but if the throw 
be vertical a locking device must be provided, so constructed as to insure the blades 
remaining in the open position when so set. 

When practicable, switches must be so wired that blades will be “dead” when 
switch is open. 

When switches are used in rooms where ambiente flyings would be likely to 
accumulate around them, they must be enclosed, in dust-tight cabinets. 

c. Single-pole switches must never be used as service switches, nor for the control 
of outdoor signs or circuits located in damp places, nor placed in the neutral wire of 
a three-wire system, except in the two-wire branch or tap circuit supplying not more 
than 660 watts. 

This, of course, does not apply to the grounded circuits of street railway systems. 

Three-way switches are considered as single pole switches. 

d. Where flush switches or receptacles are used, whether with conduit systems or 
not, they must be enclosed in an approved box constructed of iron or steel, in addition 
to the porcelain enclosure of the switch or receptacle. Where at floor outlets, attach- 
ment plugs are liable to mechanical injury, or the presence of moisture is probable, 
floor outlet boxes specially designed for this purpose must be used. 

e. Sub-bases of non-combustible, non-absorptive, insulating material, which will 
separate the wires at least % inch from the surface wired over, must be installed 


186 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SECS. 425, 426. 


under all snapswitches used in exposed knob and cleat work. .Sub-bases must also be 
used in moulding work unless the switch is approved for mounting directly on the 
moulding. 


8425. Electric heaters. 


a. Each heater of more than 6 amperes or 660 watits capacity must be pro-~ 
tected by a cut-out, and controlled by a switch or plug connector plainly indicating 
whether “on” or “off” and located within sight of the heater. Heaters of 6 amperes 
of 660 watts capacity, or less, may be grouped under the protection of a single set 
of fuses, provided the rated capacity of the fuses does not exceed 10 amperes, or may 
be connected individually to lighting circuits when the normal load on the circuit at 
any time will not exceed 660 watts. 


b. Flexible conductors for smoothing irons and sad irons, and for all devices 
requiring over 250 watts, must have an approved insulation and covering complying 
with the requirements of §551k of this chapter. 


c. With portable heating devices, approved plug connectors must be used, so 
arranged that the plug may be pulled out to open the circuit without leaving any live 
parts so exposed as to render likely accidental contact therewith. The connector may 
be located at either end of the flexible conductor or inserted in the conductor itself. 


d. Smoothing irons, sad irons and other heating devices that are intended to be 
applied to combustible articles, must be provided with approved stands. 


e. Stationary heaters, such as radiators, ranges, plate warmers, etc., must be so 
located as to furnish ample protection between the device and surrounding combustible 
material. 


f. Electric heaters must each be provided with a name-plate giving the maker’s 
name and the normal capacity in volts and amperes or in volts and watts. 


§426. Wires, low potential systems. 
1. General Rules. 


a. Wires where entering cabinets, cut-out boxes or junction boxes, except where 
they are in conduit, armored cable or metal moulding, must be protected by approved 
bushings, which fit tightly the holes in the box and are well secured in place. The 
wires should completely fill the holes in the bushings so as to keep out the dust, tape 
being used to build up the wires if necessary. 

The use of permanently and reliably grounded conductors not complying with the 
insulation requirements of article 5 of this chapter may be authorized by special 
permission in writing. 

b. Wires must not be laid in plaster, cement or similar finish, and must never be 
fastened with staples. 

c. Wires must not be fished for any great distance, and only in places where the 
inspector can satisfy himself that the rules have been complied with. 

d. Twin wires must never be used, except in conduits, or where flexible con- 
ductors are necessary. 

e. Wires must, where exposed to mechanical injury, be suitably protected. When 
crossing floor timbers in cellars, or in rooms where they might be exposed to injury, 
wires must be installed in approved conduit or armored cable or be attached by their 
insulating supports to the under side of a wooden strip, not less than % inch in thick- 
ness, and not less than 3 inches in width. Instead of the running-board, guard strips 
on each side of and close to the wires will be accepted, these strips to be not less 
than % inch in thickness, and at least as high as the insulators. 

Protection on side walls must extend not less than 7 feet from the floor and 
must consist of substantial boxing, retaining an air space of 1 inch around the con- 


187 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SEC. 426. 


ductors, closed at the top (the wires passing through bushed holes) or of approved 
metal conduit or pipe of equivalent strength. | 

When metal conduit or pipe is used, the insulation of each wire must be reinforced 
by approved flexible tubing extending from the insulator next below the pipe to the 
one next above it, unless the conduit is installed according to §428 of this chapter, 
paragraphs c and f thereof excepted, and the wire is approved for conduit use. The 
2 or more wires of a circuit each with its flexible tubing (when required), if carry- 
ing alternating current must, or if direct current may, be placed within the same pipe. 

In making open work extensions from concealed conduit or armored cable instal- 
lations, the outlet boxes must first be set out beyond the finished surface or else an. 
extension collar must be added. This collar must be electrically and mechanically 
secured to the box. 

The conductors of the extension must be brought out of the side of the box or 
collar and must be protected by approved insulating bushings as required in par. “a” 
of this section. 

f. When run in unfinished attics or roof spaces, wires will be considered as con- 
cealed and when run in close proximity to water tanks or pipes, they will be con- 
sidered as exposed to moisture. 

In unfinished attics or roof spaces wires are considered as exposed to mechanical 
injury, and must not be run on knobs or upper edge of joists. , 
2. Open work in dry places. 

g. Wires must have an approved rubber (type R. S8.), slow-burning weatherproof 
(type S. B. W.), or slow-burning insulation (type S. B.). Slow-burning insulation 
may be used only in permanently dry locations and under special permission in writing, 
given in advance. 

h. Wires must be rigidly supported on non-combustible, non-absorptive insulators, 
which will separate the wires from each other and from the surface wired over in 
accordance with the following table: . 

Voltage—O to 300; distance from surface, 4% inch; distance between wires, 2% 
inches. 

Voltage—301 to 550; distance from surface, 1 inch; distance between wires, 4 inches 

Rigid supporting requires under ordinary conditions, where wiring along flat sur- 
faces, supports at least every 4% feet. If the wires are liable to be disturbed, the 
distance between supports must be shortened. In buildings of mill construction, mains 
of not less than No. 8 B. & S. gauge, where not liable to be disturbed, may be separated 
about 6 inches, and run from timber to timber, not breaking around, and may be 
supported at each timber only. 

Wires must not be “dead-ended” at a rosette, socket or receptacle unless the last 
support is within 12 inches of the same. . 

3. Open work in damp places, or buildings specially subject to moisture or to acid 
or other fumes. 

i. Wires must have an approved insulating covering. 

For protection against water, rubber insulation must be used. For protection 
against corrosive vapors, either weatherproof or rubber insulation must be used. 

j. Wires must be rigidly supported on non-combustible, non-absorptive insulators, 
which separate the wire at least 1 inch from the surface wired over, and must be kept 
apart at least 2% inches for voltages up to 300. and 4 inches for higher voltages. 

Rigid supporting requires under ordinary conditions, where wiring over flat sur- 
faces, supports at least every 4% feet. If the wires are liable to be disturbed, the 
distance between supports must be shortened. In buildings of mill construction, 


188 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


mains of not less than No. 8 B. & S. gauge, where not liable to be disturbed, may 
be separated about 6 inches, and run from timber to timber, not breaking around, 
and may be supported at each timber only. 

4. Metal moulding work. 

k. Wires must have an approved rubber insulating covering (type R. S.), and 
must be in continuous lengths from outlet to outlet, or from fitting to fitting, no 
joints or taps to be made in moulding. Where branch taps are necessary in moulding 
work approved fittings for this purpose must be used. 

1. Wires must never be placed in moulding in damp locations; must never be 
placed in moulding in concealed locations or where the difference of potential between 
any 2 wires in the same system is over 300 volts. When the electrical construction 
is being carried out in moulding, permission will be given to extend these mouldings 
through walls and partitions, if the moulding and capping are in continuous lengths 
‘where passing through the walls and partitions. Mouldings must not be used for 
circuits requiring more than 1,320 watts of energy. 

m. Wires must for alternating current systems, if in metal moulding, have the 
two or more wires of a circuit installed in the same moulding. 


5. Conduit work. 


n. Wires must have an approved rubber insulating covering, and must within 
the conduit tubing be without splices or taps. and must be provided with a lead 
covering if the conduit is installed in a damp place and is not watertight. Wires 
must be double braided (type R. D.) for twin, twisted pair or multiple conductor 
cables and for all single conductors of No. 6 B. & 8. gauge and larger. 

Slow burning insulation may, however, be used in permanently dry locations 
where excessive temperatures are present, provided special permission in writing be 
given in advance. 

o. Wires must not be drawn in until all mechanical work on the building has 
been, as far as possible, completed. 

Conductors in vertical conduit risers must be supported within the conduit system 
in accordance with the following table: 


No. 14 to 0 every 100 feet. 

No. 00 to 0000 every 80 feet. 

0000 to 350,000 C. M. every 60 feet. 

350,000 C. M. to 500,000 C. M. every 50 feet. 

50,000 C. M. to 750,000 C. M. every 40 feet. 

750,000 C. M. every 35 feet. 

The following methods of supporting cables are recommended: 


1. Approved clamping devices constructed of or employing insulating wedges 
inserted in the ends of the conduit. 


2. Junction boxes may be inserted in the conduit system at the required intervals, 
in which insulating supports of approved type must be installed and secured in a satis- 
factory manner so as to withstand the weight of the conductors attached thereto, the 
boxes to be provided with proper covers. 


3. Cables may be supported in approved junction boxes on 2 or more insulat- 
ing supports so placed that the conductors will be deflected at an angle of not less 
than 90 degrees, and carried a distance of not less than twice the diameter of the cable 
from its vertical position. Cables so suspended may be additionally. secured to these 
insulators by the wires. Conductors larger than No. 4 B. & 8S. gauge must not be 
materially deflected where they enter or leave the cabinet, and where terminating in 
the cabinet must be properly supported at the end of the conduit. 


Other methods may be used, if specially approved. 
189 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SEC. 428. 


p. Wires must, for alternaiting systems. have the 2 or more wires of a circuit 
drawn in the same conduit. 

Except in the case of stage pocket and border circuits the same conduit must not 
contain more than 4 two-wire, or 3 three-wire circuits of the same system, except 
by special permission, and must never contain circuits of different systems. 

6. Concealed “knob and tube” work. 


q. The installation of concealed knob and tube work is prohibited. 


§427. Armored cables. 


a. Armored cables must be continuous from outlet to outlet or to junction boxes 
or cabinets, and the armor of the cable must properly enter and be secured to all 
fittings, and the entire system must be mechanically secured in position. | 

In case of service connections and main runs, this involves runnnig such armored 
cables continuously into a main cut-out cabinet or gutter surrounding the panel board 
as the case may be. 


b. Armored cables must be equipped at every outlet with an approved outlet box 
or plate, as required in conduit work. 

Outlet plates must not be used where it is practicable to install outlet boxes. 

For concealed work in walls and ceilings composed of plaster on wooden joist or 
stud construction, outlet boxes or plates and also cut-out cabinets must be so installed 
that the front edge will not be more than % inch back of the finished surface of 
the plaster, and if this surface is broken or incomplete it shall be repaired so that 
it will not show any gaps or open spaces around the edges of the outlet box or plate 
or of the cut-out cabinet. On wooden walls or ceilings, outlet boxes or plates and 
cut-out cabinet must be so installed that the front edge will either be flush with the 
finished surface or project therefrom. This will not apply to concealed work in walls 
or ceilings, composed of concrete, tile or other non-combustible material. 

In buildings already constructed where the conditions are such that neither outlet 
box nor plate can be installed, these appliances may be omitted by special permission, 
provided the armored cable is firmly and rigidly secured in place. 


c. Armored cables must have the metal armor of cables permanently and effect- 
ually grounded to waiter piping, gas piping or other suitable grounds, provided that 
when connections are made to gas piping they must be on the street side of the meter, 
If the armored cable system consists of several separate sections, the sections must be 
bonded to each other, and the system grounded, or each section may be separately 
grounded, as required above. 

The armor of cables and gas pipes must be securely fastened in outlet boxes, 
junction boxes and cabinets, so as to secure good electrical connection. 

If armor of cables and metal of couplings, outlet boxes, junction boxes, cabinets 
or fittings, having protective coating of non-conducting material, such as enamel, are 
used, such coating must be thoroughly removed from threads of both couplings and 
the armor of cables, and from surfaces of the boxes, cabinets and fittings where the 
armor of cables or ground clamp is secured in. order to obtain the requisite good 
connection. Grounded pipes must be cleaned of rust, scale, etc., at place of attachment 
of ground clamp. 


Connecticns to grounded pipes and to armor of cables must be exposed to view or 
accessible, and must be made by means of approved ground clamps. 

Ground wires must be of copper, at least No. 10 B. & S. gauge (where largest 
wire contained in cable is not greater than No. 0 B. & S. gauge), and need not be 
greater than No. 4 B. & S. gauge (where largest wire contained in cable is greater 
than No. 0 B. & S. gauge). They shall be protected from mechanical injury. 

d. When installed in so-called fireproof buildings in course of construction or 


190 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


afterwards if exposed to moisture, or where it is exposed to the weather, or in damp 
places, such as breweries, stables, etc., the cable must have a lead covering placed 
between the outer braid of the conductors and the steel armor. 

_ The lead covering is not to be required when the cable is run against brick walls 
or laid in ordinary plaster walls unless same are continuously damp. 

e. Where entering junction boxes, and at all other outlets, etc., armored cables 
must be provided with approved terminal fittings which will protect the insulation of 
the conductors from abrasion, unless such junction or outlet boxes are specially 
designed and approved for use with the cable. 

f. Junction boxes must always be installed in such a manner as to be accessible. 

g. For alternating current systems, armored cables must have the 2 or more 
conductors of the circuit enclosed in 1 metal armor. 

h. All bends must be so made that the armor of the cable will not be injured. 
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of any bend shall not be less than 1% 
inches. ‘ 


§428. Interior conduits. 

a. No conduit smaller than % inch, electrical trade size, shall be used. 

b. Interior conduits must be continuous from outlet to outlet or to junction boxes 
or cabinets, and the conduit must properly enter, and be secured to all fittings and 
the entire system must be mechanically secured in position. 

In case of service connections and main runs, this involves running each conduit 
continuously into a main cutout cabinet or gutter surrounding the panel board, as 
the case may be. Departure from this rule may be authorized in case of underground 
services by special permission. 

c. Interior conduits must be first installed as a complete conduit system, without 
the conductors. : 

d. Interior conduits must be equipped at every outlet with an approved outlet 
box or plate. At exposed ends of conduit (but not at fixture outlets) where wires 
pass from the conduit system without splice, joint or tap, an approved fitting having 
separately bushed holes for each conductor must be used. Departure from this rule 
may be authorized by special permission. 

Outlet plates must not be used where it is practicable to install outlet boxes. 

For concealed work in walls and ceilings composed of plaster on wooden joist or 
stud construction, outlet boxes or plates and also cut-out cabinets must be so installed 
that the front edge will not be more than % inch back of the finished surface of the 
plaster, and if this surface is broken or incomplete it shall be repaired so that it will 
not show any gaps or open spaces around the edges of the outlet box or plate or of 
the cut-out cabinet. On wooden walls or ceilings, outlet boxes or plates and cut-out 
cabinets must be so installed that the front edge will either be flush with the finished 
surface or project therefrom. This will not apply to concealed work in walls or ceil- 
ings composed of concrete, tile or other non-combustible material. 

In buildings already constructed where the conditions are such that neither outlet 
box nor plate can be installed, these appliances may be omitted providing the conaun 
ends are bushed and secured. 

e. Metal conduits where they enter junction boxes, and at all other outlets, etc., 
must be provided with approved bushings or fastening plates fitted so as to protect 
wire from abrasion, except when such protection is obtained by the use of approved 
nipples, properly fitted in boxes or devices. 

f. Interior conduits must have the metal of the conduit permanently and effectu- 
ally grounded to water piping, gas piping or other suitable grounds, provided that 
when connections are made to gas piping, they must be on the street side of the meter. 
If the conduit system consists of several separate sections, the sections must be bonded 


191 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SEC. 428. 


to each other, and the system grounded, or each section may be separately grounded, as 
required above. Where short sections of conduit (or pipe of equivalent strength) is 
used for the protection of exposed wiring on side walls, and such conduit or pipe 
and wiring is installed as required by §426e of this chapter, the conduit or pipe need not 
be grounded. 


Conduits and gas pipes must be securely fastened in outlet boxes, junction boxes 
and cabinets, so as to secure good electrical connections. 

If conduit couplings, outlet boxes, junction boxes, cabinets or fittings, having pro- 
tective coatings of non-conducting material, such as enamel, are used, such coating 
must be thoroughly removed from threads of both couplings and conduit, and such 
surfaces of boxes, cabinets and fittings where the conduit or ground clamp is secured 
in order to obtain the requisite good connection. Grounded pipes should be cleaned of 
rust scale, etc., at place of attachment of ground clamp. 

Connections to grounded pipes and to conduit must be exposed to view or acces- 
sible, and must be made by means of approved ground clamp. 

Ground wires must be of copper at least No. 10 B. & S. gauge (where large wire 
eontained in conduit is not greater than No. 0 B. & S. gauge), and need not be greater 
than No. 4 B. & S. gauge (where largest wire contained in conduit is greater than 
No. 0 B. & S. gauge). They shall be protected from mechanical injury. 

g. Junction boxes must always be installed in such a manner as to be accessible. 
Such boxes are considered to be accessible when installed in an attic that has sufficient 
head room, but which is reached only by a portable ladder and permanent hatch. 

h. All elbows or bends must be so made that the conduit will not be injured. 
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of any elbow shall not be less than 3% 
inches. There must be not more than the equivalent of 4 quarter bends from outlet 
to outlet, the bends at the outlets not being counted. 


i. Conduit sizes for various numbers, gauges and types of conductors must con- 
form to the following table:

a. Meta: moulding must be continuous from outlet to outlet, to junction boxes, 
or approv:d fittings designed especially for use with metal mouldings, and must at all 
outlets be piovided with approved terminal fittings which will protect the insulation 
of conductors from abrasion, unless such protection is afforded by the construction of 
the boxes or fittings. 

b. Such mouldings where passing through a floor must be carried through an iron 
pipe extending from the ceiling below to a point 5 feet above the floor, which will 
serve as an additional mechanical protection and exclude the presence of moisture 
often prevalent in such locations. 

Where the mechanical strength of the moulding itself is adequate, this ruling may 
be modified to require the protecting piping from the ceiling below to a point at least 
3 inches above the flooring. 

Where such mouldings pass through a partition the iron pipe required for passing 
through floors may be omitted and the moulding passed directly through, providing 
the partition is dry and the moulding is in a continuous length with no joint or 
‘couplings within the partition. 

c. Backing must be secured in position by screws or bolts, the heads of which 
must be flush with the metal. 

d. Metal moulding must be permanently and effectively grounded to water 
piping, gas piping, or other suitable grounds, provided that when connections are made 
to gas piping they must be on the street side of the meter. If the metal moulding 
system consists of several separate sections, the sections must be bounded to each

other and the system grounded, or each section may be separately grounded, as 
required above. 

} Metal mouldings and gas pipes must be securely fastened to outlet boxes, junction 
boxes and cabinets, so as to secure a good electrical connection. Moulding must be 
so installed that adjacent lengths of moulding will be mechanically and electrically 
secured at all points. 

If metal moulding, couplings, outlet boxes, junction boxes, cabinets or fittings 
having protective coating of non-conducting material such as enamel are used, such 
coating must be thoroughly removed from threads of couplings and metal mouldings, 
and from the surface of boxes, cabinets and fittings, where the metal moulding or 
ground clamp is secured in order to obtain the requisite good connection. Grounded 
pipes should be cleaned of rust, scale, etc., at the place of attachment of the ground 
clamp. 

Connection to grounded pipes afid to metal mouldings must be exposed to view, or 
accessible, and must be made by means of approved ground clamps. 

Ground wires must be of copper, at least No. 10 B. & S. gauge. They shall be 
protected from mechanical injury. 

e. Must be installed so that for alternating systems the 2 or more wires of a 
circuit will be in the same metal moulding. 


§430. Fixtures. 

a. Fixtures must, except as specified in paragraph b hereof, be insulated from 
their supports by approved insulating joints placed as close as possible to the ceilings 
or walls. Where insulating joints are required, fixture canopies of metal must be 
thoroughly and permanently insulated from metal walls or ceilings or from plaster 
walls or ceilings on metal lathing and from outlet boxes. Canopy insulators must be 
securely fastened in place so as to separate the canopies thoroughly and permanently 
from the surface and outlet boxes from which they are designed to be insulated. Gas 
pipes must be protected above the insulating joints by approved insulating tubing, and 
where outlet tubes are used, they must be of sufficient length to extend below the in- 
sulating jomt and must be so secured that they will not be pushed back when the 
canopy is put in place. 

b. Insulating joints and canopy insulators may be omitted in the following cases: 

1. Straight electric fixtures metallically connected in a permanent and effective 
manner to metal conduit, armored cable or metal moulding systems or to gas piping, 
provided such gas -piping is grounded in the manner prescribed for conduit in §428 
of this chapter. 

2. Straight electric fixtures connected to knob and tube, wooden moulding or oper 
work, except on metal ceilings or on plaster walls or ceilings containing metal lathing, 

3. Straight electric fixtures which are permanently and effectively grounded to 
a@ separate ground wire not smaller than No. 14 B. & 8. gauge. 

4. By special permission in writing, straight electric fixtures may be grounded 
by connecting them by an approved means to one of the supply wires of the fixture, 
provided such wire is permanently and effectively grounded, and if there is no fuse, 
circuit breaker or switch in that side of the circuit between the fixture and the ground 
connection. 

5. Combination fixtures in which all wires have an approved rubber insulation 
ness less than 3-64 inch in thickness and where gas piping is grounded, as in subdivi- 
sion 1 above. 

ce. For fixtures which are not attached to gas pipes or conduit unless outlet boxes 
or other approved fittings which will give proper support for fixtures are used, a 
% inch block must be fastened between studs or floor timbers flush with the back 
of lathing to hold tubing and to support fixtures. When this cannot be done wooden 


195 


CHAP. 9, ART. 4, SECS. 433, 434.

pliances in which the wiring is exposed to temperatures in excess of 120 degrees 
Fahrenheit (49 degrees Centrigrade) from the heat of the lamps, conductors having 
approved slow-burning or other heat-resisting coverings must be used. All such forms 
of fixtures must be submitted for examination, test and approval before being intro- 
duced for use. 


f. Supply conductors, and especially the splites to fixture wires, must be kept 
clear of the grounded part of gas pipes, and, where shells or outlet boxes are used, 
they must be made sufficicntly large to allow the fulfilment of this requirement. 

g. Fixtures must, when wired on the outside, have the conductors so secured as 
not to be cut or abraded by the pressure of the fastenings or motion of the fixture. 

Chain fixtures must be wired with flexible conductors. 


h. Wires of different systems must never be contained in or attached to the same 
fixture, and under no circumstances must there be a difference of potential of more 
than 300 volts between wires contained in or attached to the same fixtures. 

i. Fixtures must be free from short circuits between donductors and from con- 
tacts between conductors and metal parts of fixtures, and must be tested for such con- 
ditions before being connected to supply conductors.

sufficiently to come in contact with surrounding objects, flexible wires and cables 
especially designed to withstand this severe service must be used. 

When necessary to prevent portable lamps from coming in contact with inflam- 
mable materials, or to protect them from breakage, they must be surrounded with a 
substantial guard.

rubber-covered and not smaller in size than No. 12 B. & S. gauge. Insulation on wires 
between resistance and contact plates of rheostats must conform to paragraph d 
hereof, while wires subjected to severe external heat must have approved slow- 
burning insulation. 


2. All wires excepting collector wires and those run in metal conduit or approved 
flexible cable must be supported by knobs or cleats which separate them at least 1 inch 
from the surface wired over, but in dry places, where space is limited and the distance 
between wires as required by §426h of this chapter cannot be obtained, each wire must 
be separately encased in approved flexible tubing securely fastened in place.

lation is necessary and also where they are grouped. If the crane operates over readily 
combustible material the resistance must be placed in an enclosure made of non- 
combustible material, thoroughly ventilated and so constructed that it will not permit 
any flames or molten metal to escape in the event of burning out the resistances. If 
the resistances are located in the cab, this result may be obtained by constructing the 
cab of non-combustible material and providing sides which enclose the cab from its 
floor to a height of at least 6 inches above the top of the resistances.

ready introdiction of the wire. 

b. Flexible tubing must be constructed of or treated with materials which will 
serve aS moisture repellents. 

c. The tube must be so designed that it will withstand all the abrasion likely to 
be met with in practice. 

d. The linings, if any, must not be removable in lengths of over 3 feet. 

Flexible tubing must not close to prevent the insertion of the wire after the tube 
has been kinked or flattened and straightened out. 

f. Flexible tubing must have a distinctive marking the entire length of-the tube, 
so that the tubing may be readily identified in 'the field. 


§564. Knobs. 


a. Split knobs must be constructed in 2 parts, a base and a cap, arranged to 
hold the -vire firmly in place without injury to its covering. Sharp edges must be 
avoided. Solid knobs must be constructed with smooth grove, to contain wire.

$565. Switches. 
1. General Rules. 


| a. Switches must, when used for service switches, indicate, on inspection, whether 
the current be “on or “off.” 


2. Knife switches. 


c. Knife switches must be mounted on non-combustible, non-absorptive insu- 
lating bases. Other materials than slate, marble or porcelain must be submitted for 
special examination before being used. Bases with an area of over 25 square inches: 
must have at least 4 supporting schrews. Holes for the supporting screws must be so: 
located or countersunk that there will be at least % inch space measured over the 
surface, between the head of the screw or washer and the nearest live metal part, and 
in all cases when between parts of opposite polarity must be countersunk. 


d. Pieces carrying the contact jaws and hinge clips must be secured to the base 
by at least 2 screws, or else made with a square shoulder, or provided with dowel 
gins, to prevent pussible turning, and the nuts or screw-heads on the under side of 
the base must be countersunk not less than % inch and covered with a waterproof 
compound which will not melt below 150 degrees Fohrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade). 


e. Hinges of knife switches must not be used to carry current unless they 
are equipped with spring washers, held by lock-nuts or pins, or their equivalent, so 
arranged that a firm and secure connection will be maintained at all positions of the 
switch blades. 


f. All switches must have ample metal for stiffness and to prevent rise in tem- 
perature of any part of over 50 degrees Fahrenheit’ (28) degrees Centigrade) at full 
load, the contacts being arranged so that a thoroughly good bearing at every point 
is obtained with contact surfaces advised for pure copper blades of about 1 square 
inch for each 75 amperes; the whole device must be mechanically weli made through- 
out. 


4 


g. All crossbars less than 3 inches in Jength must be .made of insulating material. 
Bars of 3 inches and over, which are made of metal to insure greater mechanical 
strength, must be sufficiently separated from the jaws of the switch to prevent arcs 
following from the contacts to the bar on the opening of the switch under any cir- 
cumstances. Metal bars should preferably be covered with insulating material. To 
prevent possible turning or twisting the cross-bar must be secured to each blade 
by 2 screws, or the joints made with square shoulders or provided with dowel-pins. 


h. Switches for currents of over 30 amperes must be equipped with lugs, firmly 
screwed or bolted to the switch, and into which the conducting wires shall be soldered. 
For switches designed for currents of 30 amperes or less, heavy clamps or screw and 
washer connections with upturned lugs may be used. 


i. Knife switches must: operate successfully at 50 per cent. overload in amperes 
and at rated voltage, under the most severe conditions with which they are liable to 
meet in practice. 


j. Knife switches must be plainly marked where the making can be read when 
the switch is installed, with the name of the maker and the current and the voltage for 
which the switch is designed. Switches designed for 250 volth D. C. or 500 volts A. C. 
circuits, without fuses on the switch base, must be marked 250 V., D. C., 500 V., A. C. 
When 250-volt fuse terminals are mounted on the switch base, the marking of the 
switch must be 250 V., D. C. and A. C. When 600-volt fuse terminals are mounted 
on the switch base, the terminals must be spaced for 600-volt fuses and the switches 
marked 500 V., A. C. Triple pole switches designed with 125-volt spacings, between 
adjacent blades, must be marked 125 volts, and may be used on 3-wire D. C. or single 
phase systems having not more than 125 volts between adjacent wires and not more 


215 


CHAP. 9, ART. 5, SEC. 666. 


than 250 volts between the two outs ide wires. When designed with 250-volt spacings 
between adjacent blades trip] epole switches must be marked 250 volts and may be 
used on 3-wire D. C. or single phase systems having not more than 250 bolts between 
adjacent wires and not more than 500 volts between the two outside wires. 


k. Spacings and dimensions must be at least as great as those given in the

Where barriers of approved design and made of suitable non-absorptive, non- 
combustible, insulating material or of impregnated hard wood are placed between parts 
of opposite polarity, the minimum separation of these parts on switches described 
in Table 5 may be that given in Table 4. 


_ Auxiliary contacts of either a readily renewable or a quick-break type or the 
equivalent are recommended for D. C. switches, designed for over 250 volts, and must 
be provided on D. C. switches designed for use in breaking currents greater than 100 
amperes at a voltage of over 250. For 3-wire direct current and 3-wire single phase 
systems the separation and break distances for plain 3-pole knife switches must not 
be less than those required in the above table for switches designed for the voltage 
between neutral and outside wires. 


216 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 
3. Snap Switches. 


1. Current-carrying parts must be mounted on non-combustible, non-absorptive, 
insulating bases, such as slate or porcelain, and the holes for supporting screws should 
be countersunk not less than 4% inch. There must in no case be less than 3-64 inch 
space between supporting screws and current-carrying parts. 


Sub-bases must be so designed as to separate the wires at least %4 inch from the 


surface wired over. They must be of a non-combustible, non-absorptive insulating 
material. 


m. Pieces carrying contact jaws must be secured to the base by at least 2 screws, 
or else made with a square shoulder, or provided with dowel-pins or otherwise ar- 
ranged, to prevent possible turnings; and the nuts or screw heads on the under side 
of the base must be countersunk not less than % inch and covered with a waterproof 
compound which will not melt below 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade). 

i. 


p. Binding posts must be substantially made, and the screws must be of such 
size that the threads will not strip when set up tight. Switches with the set-screw 
form of contact will not be approved. 


q. Covers made of conducting material, except face plates for flush switches, 
must be lined on sides and top with insulating, tough and tenacious material at least 
1-32 inch in thickness, firmly secured so that it will not fall out wit hordinary han- 
dling. The side lining must extend slightly beyond the lower edge of the cover. 

r. The handle or button or any exposed parts must not be in electrical connec- 
tion with the circuit. 

s. Snap switches must “make” and “break” with a quick snap, and must not stop 
when motion has once been imparted by the button or handle. 


t. Snap switches must be plainly marked, where the marking may be readily seen, 
with the name or trade-mark of the maker and the current and voltage for which 
the switch is designed. On flush switches these markings may be placed on the sub- 
plate. On surface switches with covers constructed of porcelain or other moulded 
insulating material the markings may be on the inside of the cover. On all other 
types they must be placed on the front of the cap, cover or plate. 


§566. Circuit breakers. 
1. Generally. 


Circuit breakers for operation on circuits of 550 volts or less must be made to 
comply with the following specifications, exceut in those few cases where peculiar 
design allows the breaker to fulfill the general requirements in some other way, and 
where it can successfully withstand the prescribed tests. In such cases the breakers 
should be submitted for special examination and approval before being used. 

2. Details of construction. 


a. Circuit breakers must be mounted on non-combustible, non-absorptive, insu- 
lating bases, such as slate or marble. Bases with an area of over 25 square inches 
must have at least 4 supporting screws. Holes for the supporting screws must be so 
located or countersunk that there will be at least % inch space measured over the 
surface between the head of the screw or washer and the nearest live metal part, and 
in cases where between parts of opposite polarity must be countersunk. 


b. Pieces carrying contact parts must be secured to the base by at least 2 screws, 
or else made with a square shoulder, dowel pin, or equivalent device, to prevent pos- 
sible turning, and the nuts or screw heads on the under side of the base of front- 
connected breakers must be countersunk not less than 4% inch, and covered with a 
waterproof compound which will not melt below 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees 


217 


CHAP. 9, ART. 5, SEC. 568. 


Centigrade). All breakers must be provided with easily accessible means of tripping 
them by hand without injury to the operator. 

c. 

d. 

e. 


f. 


g. Metal work of automatic overload circuit breakers must be substantial in 
construction and must have ample metal for stiffness. The contact parts shall be 
arranged so that thoroughly good bearings are obtained; the entire device must. be 
mechanically well made throughout. 


h. Must be plainly marked, where it will be visible when installed, with the 
name of the maker and the current and voltage for which the device is designed. 


1. General rules. 


a. Cut-outs must be reported on bases of non-combustible, non-absorptive, insu- 
lating material. 


b. The design of the base must be such that, considering the material used, the 
base will withstand the most severe conditions liable to be met in practice. 


c. Bases with an area of over 25 square inches must have at least 4 sup- 
porting screws. Holes for supporting screws must be so located or countersunk that 
there will be at least % inch space, measured over the surface, between the screw-head 
or washer and the nearest live metal part, and in all cases where between parts of 
opposite polarity must be countersunk. 


d. Nuts or screw-heads on the under side of the base must be countersunk not 
less than 1% inch, and covered with a waterproof compound which will not melt below 
150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade). 


e. Cut-outs must be marked, where the markings will be plainly visible when 
installed, with the name of the maker, and current and voltage for which the device is 
designed. 

2. Link fuse cut-outs. 


f. Spacings must be at least as great as those given in the following table, which 
applies only to plain, open-link fuses mounted on slate or marble bases. The spaces 
given are correct for fuse blocks to be used on direct current systems, and can there- | 
fore be safely followed in devices designed for alternating currents. If the copper 
fuse-tips overhang the edges of the fuse-block terminals, the spacing should be 
measured between the nearest edges of the tips: r

ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


A space thust be maintained between fuse terminals of the same polarity of at 
least % inch for voltage up to 125 and of at least % inch for voltages from 126 to 
250. This is the minimum distance allowable, and greater separation should be pro- 
vided when practicable. For three-wire systems cut-outs must have the break-dis- 
tance required for circuits of the potential of the oustide wires, except that in 125-250 
systems with grounded neutral the cutouts in two-wire, 125 volt branch circuits may 
have the spacings specified for not over 125 volts. 


g. All fuse-block terminals must have ample metal for stiffness and to prevent 
rise in temperature of any part of over 50 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centigrade) 
at full load. Terminals, as far as practicable, should me made of compact form 
instead of being rolled out in thin strips; and sharp edges of thin projecting pieces, as 
on wing thumb nuts and the like, should be avoided. Thin metal, sharp edges and 
projecting pieces are much more likely to cause an arc to start than a more solid mass 
_ of metal. It is a good plan to round all corners of the terminals and to chamfer the 
edges. 


3. Enclosed-fuse cut-outs—plug and cartridge type. 


h. Enclosed fuse cut-outs must be classified as regards both current and voltage 
as given in the following table, and must be so designed that the bases of 1 class cannot 
be used with fuses of another class rated for a higher current or voltage.

i. Link fuses. 

a. Terminals must have contact surfaces or tips of harder metal, having perfect 
electrical connections with the fusible part of the strip. 

b. Link-fuses may be stamped with about 80 per cent. of the maximum current 
which they can carry indefinitely, thus allowing about 25 per cent. overload before 
the fuse melts. 

c. Fuse terminals must be stamped with the maker’s name or initials, or with 
some known trade-mark.

CHAP. 9, ART. 5, SEC. 669. 


2. Enclosed fuses—plug and cartridge type; except for rosettes, attachment plugs, 
car-lighting cut-outs and protective devices for signal systems. 

d. The fuse casing must be sufficiently dust-tight so that lint and dust cannot 
collect around the fusible wire and become ignited when the fuse is blown. 

e. Enclosed fuses must be slassified to respond with the different classes of 
cut-out blocks, and must be so designed that it will be impossible to put any fuse of 
a given class into a cut-out block which is designed for a current or voltage lower 
than that of the class to which the fuse belongs. 

f. The fuse terminals must be sufficiently heavy to insure mechanical strength 
and rigidity. These styles of terminals, except for use in sealable service and meter 
cut-outs, must be as follows:

a. The specifications for construction of switches and cutouts (see §565 and 
§567 of this chapter) must be followed as far as they apply. 


In the relative arrangement of fuses and switches, the fuses may be placed 
between the bus-bars and the switches, when §423a of this chapter must be complied 
with. When the branch switches are between the fuses and bus-bars, the connections 
must be so arranged that the blades will be dead when the switches are open. When 
there are exposed live metal parts on the back of a board, or where the board will 
be subject to moisture, a space of at least 1-2 inch must be provided between such 
live metal parts and the cabinet in which the board is mounted. 


b. The following minimum distance between bare live metal parts (bus-bars. 
etc.) must be maintained:

ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


The spacings given in the first column apply to the branch conductors where en- 
closed fuses are used. Where link fuses or knife switches are used, the spacings must 
be at least as great as those required by §§565 and 567 of this chapter. 


The spacings given in the second column apply to the distance between the raised 
main bars and between these bars and the branch bars over which they pass. 


Panel boards of special design in which the insulation and separation between bus 
bars and between other current carrying parts is secured by means of barriers or 
insulating materials instead of by the spacings given below, must be submitted for 
special examination and approval before being used. 


c. Panel boards must be marked where the marking can be plainly seen when 
installed, with the name or trade-mark of the manufacturer and the maximum capacity 
in amperes and the voltage for which the board is designed. 


$570. Cabinets and cut-out boxes.

similar devices. They may be designed for either surface or flush mountings and are 
usually provided with removable frames or matts, trims, etc., in which the swinging 
doors are hung; when for the enclosure of apparatus connected within the cabinet to 
the wires of more than 4 circuits they shall have a back wiring space or 1 or 
more side wiring spaces, side gutters or wiring compartments unless the wires leave 
the cabinet directly opposite their terminal connections. When intended for installa- 
tion out-of-doors they must be of the weatherproof pattern. 


b. Cut-out boxes are intended for enclosing single devices or combinations of 
devices connected within the cut-out box to the wires of not more than 4 circuits 
and usually are designed for surface mounting, having swinging doors or covers 
secured directly to the wall of the box. When intended for installation out-of-doors 
they must be of the weatherproof pattern. | 


ce. Design and construction of all cabinets and cut-out boxes must be such as to 
insure ample strength and rigidity. 


d. The spacing within cabinets and cut-out boxes must be sufficient to provide 
ample room for the distribution of wires and cables placed in them, and for a separa- ~ 
tion between metal parts or cabinets or cut-out boxes and current carrying parts of 
devices and apparatus mounted within them as follows: 


1. There must be an air space of at least 1-16 inch, except at points of support, 
between the base of the device and the wall of any metal cabinet or cut-out box on 
which the device is mounted. 


2. There must be an air space of at least 1 inch between any enclosed fuse or © 
current-carrying part and the door, unless the door is lined with an approved insulat-

wo 


other single throw switches are thrown open as far as their construction and installa- 
tion will permit. 


6. Cabinets having 1 or more side wiring spaces, side gutters or side wiring 
compartments must be furnished with covers, barriers or partitions extending around 
or from the side or sides of all bases or groups of bases of the switches, cut-outs, 
circuit breakers or feeder and circuit branch panelboards within the cabinet and pro- 
viding a close fit with the door, frame or sides of the cabinet so as to enclose these 
spaces, gutters or compartments and the wires stowed within them. At sides where 
wires or cables are led from the cabinet at points directly opposite their terminal 
connections to devices or apparatus within the cabinet, and other wires or cables are 
not placed, these covers, barriers or partitions may be omitted. 


When cabinets have back wiring spaces which are not entirely enclosed, covers 
must be furnished to provide equivalent enclosure. 


§571. Rosettes. 


a. Current-carrying parts of rosettes must be mounted on non-combustible, non- 
absorptive, insulating bases. There should be no openings through the rosette base 
except those for the supporting screws and in the concealed type for the conductors 
also, and these openings should not be made any larger than necessary. There must 
be at least %4 inch space, measurea over the surtace, between supporting screws and 
current-carrving parts. The supporting screws must be so located or countersunk 
that the flexible cord cannot come in contact with them. Bases for the knob and 
cleat type must have at least 2 holes for supporting screws; must be high enough to 
keep the wires and terminals at least 4% inch from the surface to which the rosette is 
attached and must have a porcelain lug under each terminal to prevent the rosette from

Bases for the moulding and conduit box types must be high enough to keep the 
wires and terminals at least 94 inch from the surface wired over. 


b. Contact pieces and terminals must be secured in position by at least 2 screws, 
or made with a square shoulder, or otherwise arranged to prevent turning. The nuts 
or screw heads on the under side of the base must be countersunk not less than 
1% inch and covered with a waterproof compound which will not melt below 150 
degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade). 


c. Line terminal plates must be at least .06 inch in thickness, and terminal screws 
must not be smaller than No. 6 standard screw with about 32 threads per inch. ‘Ter- 
minal plates for the flexible cord must be at least .06 inch in thickness. The con- 
nection to these plates shall be by binding screws not smaller than No. 5 standard 
screw with about 40 threads per inch. At all binding screws for line wires and for 
flexible cord, upturned lugs, or some equivalent arrangement, must be provided which 
will secure the wires under the screw heads. 

d. The diameter of the cord inlet hole should measure 13-32 inch in order that 
standard portable cord may be used. 

e. Ample space must be provided for a substantial knot tied in the cord as a 
whole. All parts of the rosette upon which the knot is likely to bear must be smooth 
and well rounded. ; 

f. When the rosette 1s made in 2 parts, the cover must be secured to the base 
so that it will not work loose. 

g. Rosettes must be plainly murked where the marking may readily be seen after

§572. Sockets, including lamp receptacles. 

a. Sockets shall be classed according to diameters of lamp bases as candelabra, 
medium and mogul base, to be known respectively as 42 inch, 1 inch and 1% inches 
nominal sizes, with ratings as specified in the following table:

Miniature sockets having screw shells smaller than the candelabra size may be used 
for decorative lighting systems, Christmas tree lighting outfits and similar purposes. 


b. All sockets must be marked with the name or trade-mark of the manutacturer 
and with the watts and volts which apply to the class. The rating marks may ne 
abbreviated, as, for example, “250 W., 250 V.” Each lamp holder of double-ended 
sockets must be rated as specified above, the device being marked with a single marking 
applying to each end. 


c. Metal used for shells must be moderately hard, but not hard enough to be 
brittle or so soft as to be easily dented or knocked out of shape. Brass shells must be 
at least .013 inch in thickness and for mogul sockets not less than .025 inch, and shells 
of any other material must be thick enough to give the equivalent stiffness and strength. 


d. The inside of metal shells must be lined with insulating material, which must 
absolutely prevent the shell from becoming a part of the circuit, even though the wires 
inside the sockets should become loosened or detached from their positions under the 
terminal screws. The material used for lining must be at least 1-32 inch in thickness, 
and must be firm, compact, tough and tenacious. It must not be injuriously affected 
by the heat from the largest lamp permitted in the socket. It is preferable’to have the 
lining in one piece. The lining must not extend beyond the metal shell more than % 
inch, but must prevent any current-carrying part of the lamp base from being exposed 
when a Jamp is in the socket. The cap must also be lined, and this lining must comply 
with the requirements for shel] linings. 


e. Caps when made of sheet brass must be at least .013 inch in thickness and .025 
inch for mogul sockets, and when cast or made of other metals must be of equivalent 
strength. 

The inlet piece must contain sufficient metal for 5 full threads, and when not in 
one piece with the cap must be riveted or otherwise secured to give the strength of 4 
single piece. There must be sufficient room in the cap to enable the ordinary wireman 
‘to easily and quickly make a knot in the cord and to push it into place in the cap 
without crowding. All parts of the cap upon which the knot is likely to bear must 
be smooth and well insulated. 


*This rating may be given only to sockets having a switch mechanism which 
produces both a quick “make” and a quick “break” action. 
+Ratings to be assigned later, pending further discussion with manufacturers.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


f. The frame which holds the moving parts must be sufficiently heavy to give 
ample strength and stiffness. Brass pieces containing terminal screws must be suf- 
ficiently heavy to give ample strength and stiffness, and have at least .06 inch of thread 
for terminal screws. Terminal post screws must not be smaller than No. 5 standard 
screws, with about 40 threads per inch. 


g. For candelabra ‘and medium sized sockets rated at 250 volts, points of opposite 
polarity must everywhere be kept not less than 3-64 inch apart, aud for mogul sockets 
and sockets rated at 600 volts not less than % inch apart, provided, however, 1f 
substantial barriers of approved insulating material are used to separate such parts, 
these distances may be correspondingly reduced, but in no event must the separation 
distances measured over the surfaces of the barriers be less than those specified above, 


h. The parts to which wiring connections are made must be designed to securely 
grip the conductors. An upturned lug or some equivalent arrangement must be pro- 
yided to hold the wires under the screw heads. 


i, The socket must firmly hold the lamp in place so that it cannot be easily jarred 
out and must provide a contact good enough to prevent undue neating with the inexi- 
mum current allowed. The holding pieces, springs and the like, if a part of the 
circuit, must not be sufficiently exposed to allow them to be brought in contact with 
anything outside of the lamp and socket. 


j. The base on which current carrying parts are mounted must be of porcelain 
or other non-combustible, non-absorptive, insulating material approved for such use. 


k. The key handle must not soften or become injured when used to operate the 
socket at a temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit, 60 degrees Centigrade. The handle 
should be thoroughly substantial and securely, but not necessarily rigidly, attached to 
the spindle or lever which it is designed to control. 


]. AJl screws in porcelain pieces, which can be firmly sealed in place, must be so 
sealed by a waterproof compound which will not melt below 200 degrees Fahrenheit 
(93 degrees Centigrade). 


m. The socket as a whole must be so put together that parts will not loosen 
under the most severe conditions they are likely to meet with in practice. The base 
must be held in such a manner as to prevent turning or displacement relative to the 
shell. 

o. Keyless sockets of all kinds must comply with the requirements for key sockets 
as far as they apply. 

p. Sockets made of porcelain or other insulating material must conform to the 
above requirements as far as they apply, and all parts must be strong enough to 
withstand a moderate amount of hard usage without breaking. Lead wires per- 
manently attached to sockets and sealed in place must have separate outlets or be 
separated not less than %4 inch in the clear. The wires must be stranded and have 
approved insulating coverings. 

q. Where a socket is not attached to a fixture, the inlet must be provided with 
an approved insulating bushing which, if threaded, must be not less than 9-32 inch 
pipe size. The edges of bushings must be rounded and all inside fins removed so that 
in no case will the cord be subjected to the cutting or wearing action of a sharp edge. 

Bushings should have holes not less than 9-32 inch in diameter for plain pendant 
cord, and 13-32 inch in diameter for reinforced cord.

lamp during trimming. 


SRY AE 
§576. Insulating joints. 


a. Insulating joints must be made of approved materials both for metal and cther 
parts, including the finishing materials for exterior and interior surfaces. Except for 
studs designed to be mounted with screws or bolts, they must have a substantial 
exterior metal casing insulated from both screw connections; they must be threaded 
in an approved manner; and they must comply with the prescribed tests for heat, 
leakage, dielectric strength, torsion and bending. 


b. Each joint and stud must be marked with the name or trade-mark of the 
manufacturer. 


§577. Fixtures. 


a. Fixtures must be made of metal or hara woud, except that other approved 
material may be used if reinforced by metal or otherwise constructed to secure requisite 
mechanical strength. In all cases mechanical strength must be secured practically 
equivalent to an all-metal fixture cf similar size and form. 

In all fixtures not made entirely of metal, wireways must be metal lined unless 
approved armored conductors with suitable fittings are used. An exception is made in 
the case of wireways in glass, marble or similar non-absorptive, non-combustible in- 
sulating materials. 

All arms must be reliably secured, to prevent turning by threading and soldering, 
brazing, threading locked by set screw or an equivalent metuod. 

With screw joints of arms and stems there must be not less than 5 threads all 
engaging at fixture. supports, fixture bodies, etc. | 

All methods of fastening arms or making Joints between metal parts by threading, 
brazing or otherwise, must be such as to secure, in every case, ample strength and 
reliability. 

Sockets must, except on pendant cord. be attached to the metal of the fixtures 
and must be secured in a reliable and permanent manner by threading locked by set- 
screws or brazing or an equivalent method. 

All burrs and fins in wireways must be removed and all sharp edges at points 
where wires emerge from arms, stems, chains, etc., must, when practicable, be removed 
or rounded, but in every case it must be possible to pull in and also to withdraw the 
wires without injuring them. 

Where supply wires enter casings of fixture stems i: either straight. electric or 
combination gas and electric fixtures, there must be suitable fittings having smooth, 
rounded edges to prevent injury to the wire coverings and to prevent the wires from 
coming into contact with the edges of the ends of casings. 

Fixtures for installation outdoors or where exposed to moisture must be So con- 
structed that water cannot enter the wireways, sockets or other electrical parts. 

b. Conductors must be not smaller than No. 18 B. & S. gauge. 

. On chains or similar parts where conductors are not completely enclosed in metal, 
the conductors must be stranded and must have rubber insulation not less than 1-32 
inch in thickness. Wires and flexible cords must, when fixtures are externally wired, 
be so secured as not to be cut or abraded by the pressure of the fastenings or motion 
of the fixture, and must be protected against abrasion where they pass through sheet 
metal plans, canopies, etc. 

Conductors must be so spliced or joined as to be both mechanically and electrically 
secure without solder. The joints must then be solderec (unless made with some 


226

- 


form of approved spl-cing device) and covered with an insuiation equal to that un the 
conductors, i. e., with both rubber and friction tape. Wires must, within the arms 
and stems, be without splices and taps, i. e., it should not be necessary to withdraw 
the wires to inspect splices and taps 


Receptacles must be so installed as to afford permanent and reliable means to 
prevent possible turning relative to the surfaces on which they are mounted, 

Receptacles having exposed terminals must not be used in canopies unless com- 
pletely enclosed in metal. 


c. Tubing used in threaded arms and stems must not be lighter than No. 18 
B. & S. gauge. The thickness of unthreaded arms will depend largely upon the method 
used, and all methods of fastening arms or stems must be such as to secure in 
every case strength equivalent to that of a threaded connection. Such methods must 
be submitted for examination, test and approval. Tubing should not be kinked, 
flattened or cracked. 


Canopies must be made surficiently large, except where outlet boxes are used, to 
permit the stowing away of splices to fixture leads and to allow supply conductors, 
and especially the splices to be kept clear of the grounded part of gas pipes. 


All methods of fastening arms or stems to fixture supports must be such as to 
secure in every case strength equivalent to that of a threaded connection. 

Conductors used in wiring fixtures must be of approved fixture wire, approved 
flexible cord, or approved rubber-covered wire, excepting that conductors having 
approved slow-burning or other heat-resisting coverings must be used in wiring 
fixtures in which the wiring is exposed, from the heat of lamps to temperatures in 
excess of 120 degrees Fahr. (49 degrees Centigrade). All such forms of fixtures must 
be submitted for examination, test and approval before being introduced for use. 

Ali fixtures should, where possible, be sufficiently ventilated to avoid exposing 
the wiring to high temperatures, and the wiring of fixtures should be so disposed 
as to be kept as free as possible from excessive temperatures. 

All electrical fittings (including insulating joints, sockets, receptacles, switches, 
attachment plugs, etc.) must be of approved types. 

‘Canopy insulators must be of approved types. They must be securely fastened 
in place so as to separate the canopies thoroughly and permanently from the surfaces 
and outlet boxes from which they are designed to be insulated. A strip of a good 
grade of hard fibre 1-16 inch thick, permanently attached to the canopy at the ends, 
and at intermediate points, in such a manner that the strip will permanently extend 
at least 3-16 inch beyond the entire upper edge of the canopy rim, will be acceptable. 
Where the above construction is impracticable a sheet of a good grade of hard fibre 
1-16 inch thick, permanently attached to the canopy and cut to conform to the general 
outline of the canopy and with the edges of the sheet at least flush with the edges 
of the canopy will be acceptable. The insulating strip or sheet must be secured by 
rivets or screws and the rivets or screws must be so located or countersunk that the 
desired effective insulation distance is obtained. 

d. Tests. 

Each fixture (after wiring and assembly) must be tcsted with a magneto which 
will rng through a resistance of at least 50,000 ohms and show no short circuits 
between conductors or contacts between conductors and metal parts of fixtures. 

e. Markings. |

$578. Rheostats, resistance boxes and equalizers. 
a. Rheostats, resistance boxes and equalizers must be made entirely of non-com- 
bustible materials, except such minor parts as handles, magnet insulation, etc. All 


220

segments, lever arms, etc., must be mounted on non-combustible, non-absorptive insu- 
lating material. Holes for the supporting screws which secure this materjal in position 
must be so located or countersunk that there will be at least 4% inch space, measured 
over the surface, between the head of the screw or washer and the nearest live metal 
part.

heavy, rugged and thoroughly workmanlike. 

c. Clamps for connecting wires to the term:nals must be so designed as to insure 
a thoroughly good connection and must be sufficiently strong anj heavy to withstand

will not be required when leads are provided as a part of the device. 

d. Rheostats, resistance boxes and equalizers must be plainly marked, where the 
marking may be readily seen after the dev-ce is insta!led, with the rating and the name 
of the maker; and the terminals of motor-starting rheostats must be marked to indicate 
to what part of the circuit each is to be connected, as “line,” “armature” and “field.” 

e. The design of the fixed and movable contacts and the resistance in each section 
must be such as to secure the least tendency toward arcing and roughening of the 
contacts, even with careless handling or the presence of dirt. In motor-starting 
rheostats, the contact at which the circuit is broken by the lever arm when moving 
from the running to the starting position must be so designed that there will be no 
detrimental arcing. The final arcing, if any, on which the arm is brought to rest in 
the starting position must have no electrical connection. 

f. Motor-starting rheostats must be so designed that the contact arm cannot be 
left on intermediate segments and for direct current circuits must be provided with an 
automatic device which will interrupt the supply circuit before the speed of the motor 
falls to less than 1/3 of its normal value. In motor-starting rheostats for alternating 
current circuits the automatic interrupting device may be omitted. 

g. Overload-release devices which are inoperative during the process of starting 
a motor will not be approved, unless other circuit breakers or fuses are installed in 
connection with them. 


§579. Auto-starters. 


a. Coils and switches of auto-starters used in dusty and linty places or where 
exposed to flyings of combustible material, must be completely enclosed in substantia] 
metal cases so constructed as to effectually exclude ordinary dust, lint or flyings of 
combustible material. 


Auto-starters used in places where the above conditions do not exist, may be of 
any approved type. Cases for either transformer coils or switches must provide for 
access to the interior for inspection and for renewal of oil, and must be so constructed 
that when mounted on a plain surface the casings will make contact with such surface 
only at points of support. An air space of at least 44 inch between the casing and 
supporting surface will be required. The oil tank shall be marked in a suitable manner 
to indicate the proper oil level. When such device carries a visual oil indicator, the 
marking shall be for the proper oil level with the starter assembled. If the visual 
indicator is not used, markings shall indicate the oil level prior to assembling. The 
switch must provide an off position, a running position and at least one starting 
position. It must be so arranged that it will be held in off and running positions but 
cannot be left in a starting position or without the proper running overload protective 
devices in the circuit. The construction throughout must be thoroughly substantial.

b. Clamps for connecting wires to the terminals must be so designed as to insure 
a thoroughly good connection and must be sufficiently strong and heavy to withstand 
Lard usage. For currents above 30 amperes, lugs into which the connecting wires 
may be soldered, or approved solderless connectors, must be used. Clamps or lugs 
will not be required when leads are provided as a part of the device. 


ce. Auto-starters must be plainly marked, where the marking may be readily seen 
after the device is installed, with the rating and name of the maker; terminals to be 
so marked as to indicate to what part -f the circuit each is to be connected. 


§580. Reactive coils and condensers. 


a. Reactive coils must be made of non-combustible materials, mounted on non- 
combustible bases and treated, in general, as sources of heat. 


b. Condensers must be treated like other apparatus operating wtih equivalent 
voltage and currents. They must have non-combustible cases and supports, and must 
be isolated from ail combustible materials and, in general, treated as sources of heat. 


§581. Transformers, low potential. 
1. Air cooled transformers. 


a 


2. Air cooled transformers must be placed in substantial metailic or other noa- 
combustible cases, which completely enclose all current-carrying parts, with the excep- 
tion of the terminals of the low voltage windings as specified below. Sheet metal 
cases must be not less than 1-32 inch in thickness, and cast iron must be not less than 
1-8 inch in thickness. Such transformers must be so constructed that when mounted 
on a plane surface the casings will make contact with such surface only at the points 
of support. An air space of at least % of an inch between the transformer casing 
and the supporting surface will be required. 

Leads of approved cable at least 6 inches in length and so secured as to prevent 
strain coming on the connections to the coils, must be brought out of the case through 
approved insulating bushings, except for bell-ringing and toy transformers, the low 
voltage terminals of which may be binding posts mounted on the case. 

The construction through must be substantial and thoroughly workmanlike. 


b. Air cooled transformers must be plainly marked, where the marking will be 
readily seen after the transformer is installed, with the name of maker, -with the 
frequency, the high voltage and all low voltages, and the rated capacity in kilo-volt- 
amperes. 

2. Bell ringing or other signaling transformers. 


d. Transformers for bell-ringing or other signaling service must be con- 
structed in accordance with the requirements of paragraph a of this section, and 
may be approved for use when all wiring on the high voltage side is in accordance 
with the requirements of article 4 of this chapter.

f. The design of the transformer must be such that when any 2 low voltage 
terminals are short circuited while the rated voltage is impressed on the high voltage 
coil, the input measured by a wattmeter in the high voltage circuit will not be more 
than 25 watts. 

3. Toy transformers. 
g. Transformers for operating toys must be constructed in accordance with the

With the high voltage co.l connected to a circuit of the rated voltage and fre- 
quency and with the low voltage coils short circuited, the input as measured by watt- 
meter must not exceed 250 watts. When so connected, and run until constant tem- 
perature is reached or until burnout occurs, the case must not be injured and there 
must be no escape or flames or molten metal. 


§582. Lightning arresters. 


a. Lightning arresters must be of approved construction. 


§583. Electric signs (for low potential systems only).

Electric signs must be so constructed as to be practically weatherproof and to 
enclose all terminals and wiring other than the supply leads, except that open work 
will be permitted for signs on roofs or open ground where not subject to inechanical 
injury, provided the wiring is in accordance with paragraph e of this section. ‘l'rans- 
formers, unless of weatherproof type, cut-outs, flashes and other similar devices 
on or within the sign structure, must be enclosed in approved cut-out boxes or 
cabinets, except that if on or within the sign structure they may be placed in a sepa- 
rate, completely enclosed compartment, or in a substantial weatherproof box or 
cabinet of metal of thickness not less than that of the metal of the sign itself. Mach 
compartment must have suitable provision for drainage through 1 or more holes, 
each not less than 1-4 inch in diameter. 

c. Electric signs must have the maker’s name or trade-mark permanently attached

faces, supports at least every 4% feet. If the wires are liable to be disturbed the 
distance between supports should be shortened. In those parts of circuits where 
wires are connected to approved receptacles which hold them at least 1 inch from 
surface wired over, and which are placed not over 1 foot apart, such receptacles will 
be considered to afford the necessary support and spacing of the wires. Between 
receptacles more than 1 foot, but less than 2 feet, apart, an additional non-combustible,

§685. Signaling systems. 
1. Exception. 


All wiring, apparatus and devices of signaling systems used for the transmissiop 
of intelligence as to fire, shall conform to such rules and regulations as the fire com- 
Inissloner may prescribe. 

2. Outside wires. 

a. Outside wires must be run in underground ducts or strung on poles, and 
kept off the roofs of buildings, except by special permission, and must not be placed 
on the same cross-arm with electric light or power wires. ‘They must not occupy 
the same duct, manhole or handhole of conduit systems with electric light or power 
wires. Single manholes or handholes separated into sections by means of partitions 
of brick or tile will be considered as conforming with the above requirement. When 
the entire circuit from central station to building is run in underground conduits, 
paragraphs b to m inclusive, of this section do not apply. 

b. When outside wires are run on same pole with electric light or power wires, 
the distance between the two inside pins of each cross-arm must not be less than 24 
inches. When the wires are carried in approved cables, paragraphs c, d and e of this 
section do not apply. 

e. Where wires are attached to the outside walls of buildings they must have ap 
approved rubber insulating covering, and on frame buildings or frame portions of 
other buildings shall be supported on glass or porcelain insulators or knobs. 

d. The wires from last outside support to the cut-outs or protectors must be 
of copper, and must have an approved rubber insulation; must be provided with drip 
loops immediately outside the building and at entrance. 7 

e. Wires must enter building through approved non-combustible, non-absorptive 
insulating bushings sloping upward from the outside, and both wires may enter through 
the same bushing, if desired. 

3. Ten ampere installations. 

f. An all-metallic circuit shall be provided, except in telegraph systems. 

g. At the entrance of wires to building, approved single pole cut-outs, designed 
for 251-600 volts potential and containing fuses rated at not over 10 amperes capacity, 
shall be provided for each wire. These cut-outs must not be placed in the immediate 
vicinity of easily ignitable stuff, or where exposed to inflammable gases, or dust or to 
flyings of combustible material. 

h. The wires inside buildings shall be of copper not less than No. 16 B. & S 
gauge, and must have insulation and be supported, the same as would be required for 
an installation of electric light or power wiring, 0-600 volts potential. 


231 


ELECTRICAL CONTROL. 


1. The instruments shall be mounted on bases constructed of non-combustible, 
~aon-absorptive insulating material. Holes for the supporting screws must be -so 
located, or countersunk, that there will be at least 1-2 inch space, measured over the 
surface, between the head of the screw and the nearest hve metal part. 
4. Less than 10 ampere installations. 

j. Wires must be provided with an approved protective device located as near 
as possible to the entrance of wires to building. The protector must not be placed in 
the immediate vicinity of easily ignitable stuff, or where exposed to inflammable gases 
or dust or flyings of combustible materials, 


k. Wires from entrance to buildings to protector must be supported on porceiain 
insulators, so that they will come in contact with nothing except their designed sup- 
ports. 


l. The ground wire of the protective device shall be run in accordance with the 
following requirements: 


1. Shall be of copper and not smaller than No. 18 B. & S. gauge. 


2. Must have an insulating covering approved for voltages from 0 to 600, except 
that the preservative compound may be omitted. 


3. Must run in as straight a line as possible to a good permanent ground. This 
may be obtained by connecting to a water or gas pipe connected to the street mains 
or to a ground rod or pipe driven in permanently damp earth. When connections 
are made to pipes, preference shall be given to water pipes. If attachment is made to 
gas pipe, the connection in all cases must be made between the meter and the street 
mains. in every case the connection shall be made as near as possible to the earth. 
When the ground wire is attached to a water pipe or gas pipe, it may be connected 
by means of an approved ground clamp fastened to a thoroughly clean portion of 
said pipe, or the pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned and tinned with rosin flux solder, 
and the ground wire shall then be wrapped tightly around the pipe and thoroughly 
soldered to it. When the ground wire is attached to a ground rod driven into the 
earth, the ground wire shall. be soldered to the rod in a similar manner. Steam or 
hot-water pipes must not be used for a protector ground. 


m. The protector to be approved must comply with the following requirements: 


1. For instrument circuits of telegraph systems, an approved single pole cut-out 
in each wire, designed for 2,000 volts potential, and containing fuses rated at not over 
l ampere capacity. When main line cut-outs are installed as called for in paragraph 
g of this section the instrument cut-outs may be placed between the switchboard and 
the instrument as near the switchboard as possible; 


2. In all other systems the protector must be mounted on non-combustible, non- 
absorptive insulating bases, so designed that when the protector is in place all parts 
which may be alive will be thoroughly insulated from the wall to which the protector 
is attached. The protector must have the following parts: 

A lightning arrester which will operate with a difference of potential between 
wires of not over 500 volts, and so arranged that the chance of accidental grounding 
is reduced to a minimum; 

A fuse designated to open the circuit in case the wires become crossed with light 
-or power circuits. The fuse must be able to open the circuit without arcing or serious 
flashing when crossed with any ordinary commercial light or power circuit; 

A heat coil, if the sensitiveness of the instrument demands it, which will operate 
before a sneak current can damage the instrument the protector is guarding; 

Heat coils are necessary in all circuits normally closed through magnet windings, 
which cannot indefinitely carry a current of at Jeast 5 amperes; 

The heat coil is designed to warm up and melt out with a current large enough 


232 


CHAP. 9, ART 6, SEC. 686. 


to endanger the instruments if continued for a long time, but so small that it would 
not blow the fuses ordinarily found necessary for such instruments. 


3. The fuses must be so placed as to protect the arrester and heat coils, and the 
protecto: terminals must be plainly marked “line,” “instrument,” “ground.” An easily 
read abbreviation of the above words will be allowed. 


5. Generally. 


The following rules apply to all systems tee the wires from the central office 
to the building are overhead or underground: 


n. Wires beyond the protector, or wires inside buildings where no protector is 
used, must be neatly arranged and securely fastened in place in some convenient, 
workmanlike manner. They must not come nearer than 2 inches to any electric light 
or power wire in the building, unless separate therefrom by some continuous and 
. firmly fixed non-conductor creating a permanent separation; this non-conductor to be 
in addition to the regular insulation on the wire. 


o. Wires where bunched together in a vertical run within any building must have 
a fire-resisting covering sufficient to prevent the wires from carrying fire from ftoor 
to floor unless they are run either in non-combustible tubing or in a fireproof shaft, 
which shaft must be provided with fire stops at each floor. Signaling wires and elec- 
tric light or power wires may be run in the same shaft, provided that 1 of these 
classes of wires is run in non-combustible tubing, or provided that when run otherwise 
these 2 classes of wires shall be separated from each other by at least 2 inches. 
In no case shall signaling wires be run in the same tube with electric light or power 
wires. 


p. Transformers or other devices for supplying current to signaling systems 
from light, heat or power circuits must be of a design expressly approved for this 
purpose. The primary wiring must be installed in accordance with the requirements 
of article 4 of this chapter, and the secondary wiring in accordance with this article. 


§686. Wireless telegraph apparatus. 


In setting up wireless telegraph apparatus, all wiring within the building must 
conform to the requirements of this chapter for the class of work installed and to 
the following additional specifications: 


a. Aerial conductors must be permanently and effectively grounded at all times 
when station is not in operation by a conductor not smaller than No. 4 B. & S. gauge 
copper wire, run in as direct line as possible to water pipe at a point on the street 
side of all connections to said water pipe within the premises, or to some other 
equally satisfactory earth connection. 

b. Aerial conductors when grounded as above specified must be effectually cut 
off from all apparatus within the building. 

ce. Or the aerial must be permanently connected at all times to earth in the man- 
ner specified above, through a short-gap lightning arrester, said arrester to have a gap 
of not over .015 inch between brass or copper plate, not less than 2% inches in length 
parallel to the gap, and 1% inches the other way with a thickness of not less than % 
inch mounted upon non-combustible, non-absorptive insulating material of such di- 
mensions as to give ample strength. Other approved arresters of equally low resist- 
ance and equally substantial construction may be used. 

d. In cases where the aerial is grounded as specified in paragraph a of this sec- 
tion, the switch employed to join the aerial to the ground connection shall not be 
smaller than a standard 100 ampere knife switch. 

e. Where supply is obtained direct from the street service the circuit must be 
installed in approved metal conduits or armored cable. In order to protect the supply 
system from high potential surges, there must be inserted in circuit either a trans-

former having a ratio which will give a potential on the secondary leads not to exceed 
550 volts, or two condensers in series across the line, the connection between said con- 
densers to be permanently and effectually grounded. ‘These condensers should have 
capacity of not less than % micro-farad. 


§687. Electric gas lighting. 


a. Electrical gas lighting, unless it is the frictional system, must not be used on 
the same fixture with the electric light, except under special permission in writing.

§69. Use; blasting. 


1. Quantity of explosive. No person shall use in a blasting operation a quan- 
tity of explosives greater than necessary properly to start the rock; but the inspector 
of blasting shall have authority to prescribe the maximum quantity of explosives to be 
used. (O.R., §179.) 


2. Covering blasts. Immediately after loading and tamping the hole, and before 
firing the blast, the rock to be blasted shall be covered on all exposed sides with a 
strong woven matting of rope or wire at least 1144 inches in diameter, and at least 
12 timbers, each 10 feet long and 10 inches in smallest diameter, held securely together 
by chains or by iron or steel cables at least 34 of an inch in diameter. After the rock 
has been thus covered, the blast shall be fired without unnecessary delay. The inspector 
of blasting shall have authority to prescribe the amount and manner of application 
of the protective covering, to be placed over blasts situated on the perpendicular or 
diagonal side of a rock and over blasts for ditch-work, block-holes, manholes, pole- 
holes, electric wire subways, sewer and gas connections, gas and water-mains. The 
provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to blasting operations in a tunnel or 
subway, when the blast is situated more than 100 feet from the mouth or opening to 
the tunnel and at least 10 feet below, the outer surface of the rock. (O. R., 88179, 
184, 185; amended by ord. effective May 25, 1915.) 

3. Firing. No person shall explode a blasting charge by means of time, slow- 
burning or safety fuse, nor by any means other than some form of electrical appara- 
tus. At least 3 minutes before firing a blast, the blaster shall give warning thereof 
by causing a competent man, carrying a red flag, to be stationed at reasonable distance 


254 


. CHAP. 10, ART. 4, SEC. 69. 


from the blast at each avenue of approach or point of danger. In tunnel or subway 
work, the blaster himself shall be the last man to leave the job after the loading is 
completed and the wires are connected, and the blaster only shall be permitted to throw 
in the electric switch to fire the blast. After the shot, the blasting wires shall be 
immediately disconnected from the switch, and the blaster, when returning to see the 
effect of the shot, shall also disconnect the lead wires, at last 200 feet from the face 
of the tunnel, and shall restore such connections only when all the men have left the 
face of the tunnel after loading. A firing box or electric switch shall be placed on 
the firing line side of the tunnel, and shall always be kept locked, except when pulling 
the switch. The connection between this box and the lines leading to the firing and 
electric light circuits shall be broken after each shot, and it shall be the duty of the 
certified blaster to see that this is done. The connection with lines used for lighting 
shall not be permanent, but before each shot the lead wires shall be carried across the 
tunnel from the shooting line to the electric light circuit. When a heading is to be 
fired, only the cut holes and lifting holes are allowed to be loaded, The cut holes 
must be fired first. No heading is allowed to be fully loaded and fired at the same 
time. In open work, the blaster may direct an assistant to pull the battery when he is 
assured that all proper preparations have been made and precautions taken for firing 
the blast. If an electric circuit is used for firing, the lead wires must be placed on the 
opposite side of the excavation from the wires used for lighting, and both lines of wire 
must be properly insulated. 


All electric apparatus of whatever nature used in blasting operations shall be 
kept locked and under the direct personal charge of the blaster. 


Where 2 or more blasters are employed on the same job, each blaster shall sign 
with the magazine keeper for the amount of explosives removed, and the time when 
taken, and shall be responsible both for all the explosives used by him and for the 
prompt return to the magazine of any explosives not immdiately used on the job, 
(O. R., §§181, 182, 186; amended by ord. effective May 25, 1915.) 


4. Hours. No person shall conduct blasting operations within the city between 
the hours of 7 o’clock p. m. and 7 o’clock a. m., nor at any time on Sunday, except 
under authority of a special permit. (O. R., §189.) 


5. Shoring. The blasting of rock contiguous to any structure shal! be so con- 
ducted as not to cause damage thereto; and, to this end, weak walls or other suppurts 
shall be shored up, and rotten or decomposed rock shall be removed, only by the use 
of gads, picks or crowbars. When blasting in the vicinity of a weak structure is 
unavoidable, only light face blasts, with short lines of resistance and smal] charges, 
shall be used. (O.R., §180.) 


6. Tamping. Blasting charges shall be tamped by means of wooden tamping 
rods, and explosives shall be pressed or set into place by steady, even pressure only. 
All strokes or blows with the tamping rod are forbidden, and no tamping rod shall 
be used which is frayed or split at the end. (O. R., §183; amended by ord. effective 
May 25, 1915.) 


7. Unexploded charge. Immediately after firing the blast, the blaster shal] cause 
all debris to be removed, and shall thoroughly examine the rock and the drill holes 
to ascertain whether there remains any unexploded charge, and, until this is done, no 
drills shall be set up. In case a charge should fail to explode, and the direction of 
its bore hole can be positively determined, the old charge may be exploded by drilling 
a single hole at least 12 inches distant from and parallel with it, which latter hole 
shall then be loaded and fired in the manner prescribed for any other bore hole. In 
case the direction of the bore hole cannot be positively determined, then, by order of 
and under the direct supervision of the superintendent or walking boss only, the tamp- 
ing may be cautiously removed by a licensed blaster, down to a point near the explosive, 


255 


CHAP. 10, ART. 6, SEC. 90. 


by the use of a metal scraper or an air blowpipe, after which the partially emptied hole 
shall be loaded with a small starting charge and detonated in the usual manner. While 
this work is being done, all persons except the licensed blaster, or the superintendent 
or walking boss, shall retire to a safe distance. In no case shall a charge which has 
failed to explode be drawn or otherwise removed from the blasting hole without the 
express permission of the fire commissioner. In case a blast shall fail to carry away 
the entire drill hole, and leaves the lower part intact, no further drilling shall be done 
in that hole. (O. R., §§187, 188; amended by ord. effective May 25, 1915.) 


8. Blasters’ helpers. No person shall load holes in blasting operations except a 
person holding a certificate of fitness, provided, however, that while holes are being 
actually loaded, drillers and drill-helpers may act as blasters’ helpers under the direc 
supervision and responsibility of the blaster. (Added by ord. effective May 25, 1915.) 


9. Small blasting jobs. A contractor for a small blasting job, who holds a cer 
tificate of fitness as a blaster and has filed a bond in the penal sum of $5,000, con- 
ditioned as required in §58, may, upon receiving the expressed permission of the fire 
commissioner, obtain a sufficient quantity of explosives for the blast (in no case ex- 
ceeding 5 pounds) from a magazine not more than 1,500 feet from his job, and may 
carry them to such job in a manner satisfactory to the fire commissioner and may 
load and shoot. the holes as provided by these regulations. All explosives not used in 
the blast shall be immediately returned to the magazine from which obtained. (As 
amended by ord. effective May 25, 1915.)

doors shall be self-closing, and if fastened open, shall be arranged to close automatically 
in case of fire originating in or out of vault. 

Racks and partitions in vaults shall be arranged in such a manner as not to 
obstruct any vent opening. Partitions shall be substantial and protected against injury. 
Shelving in vaults shall be of substantial construction throughout, and means shall be 
provided to facilitate distribution of water from automatic sprinklers. Where the 
design of the building is such that an excessive floor load would result from having the 
vault filled with water, it must be provided with one or more scuppers, giving an 
aggregate area equal to three square inches for each sprinkler head installed in the 
vault. 


Note—A depth of 10 feet of water will result in a floor load of 626 pounds per 
square foot. 

Each vault or compartment of a cabinet shall be separately vented to the outer 
air. The vent shall have a minimum effective sectional area in the ratio of 140 square 
inches for each 1,000 pounds capacity. For a standard vault of 1,500 cubic feet the 
vent openings shall be 1,400 square inches. 

The outlet-of each vent shall be above roof of building or made to face on a 
street, court or other clear space remote at least 50 feet to openings. No vent outlet 
shall be within 25 feet, measured horizontally, of any exterior fire escape, nor shall it 
be below any such fire escape which is within this distance. 

Note—Openings in walls of a building in the same plane or parallel planes and 
facing in the same direction as that in which the vent is situated shall not be considered 
as coming within the intent of this rule. 


_ All horizontal or vertical vent flues inside of the building shall be of 5” reinforced 
concrete or of a construction equivalent to that required for smoke chimneys, except 
that for 250 pounds or less of nitro-cellulose the flue may be of riveted sheet metal of 
at least No. 18 U. S. gauge, covered with 1 inch of approved heat insulation and not 
nearer than 9 inches to any combustible material. Exterior metal flues shall be of a 
construction equivalent to that of smoke stacks. 


Each vent opening directly through an exterior wall shall be protected against the 
weather by a single thickness of glass (one-sixteenth inch thick) painted a dark color, 
or by other incombustible fragile material, mounted in a sash arranged to open auto-— 
matically in case of fire by the use of an approved releasing device placed inside the 
vault. The total area of the glass shall be taken as the effective sectional area of the 
vent opening. No pane of glass shall be smaller than 200 square inches. Any other 
protection equivalent to the above may be accepted in lieu thereof. 


A light wire screen not coarser than one-eighth inch mesh shall also be placed 
over each vent, so arranged as not to interfere with the automatic operation of the 
sash. Bars or a screen designed to prevent burglary or injury to contents must not 


287 


CHAP. 10, ART. 19, SECS. 233-234. 


have a mesh of less than 4-inch, shall be located inside the light wire screen and give 
a net opening equal to that calledfor under vents. 


A permanent guard shall be installed to prevent any of the contents from being 
forced against the mouth of vent when storage capacity does not exceed 250 pounds.” 

Vaults must be equipped with at least one automatic sprinkler for each 830 lbs. of 
nitro-cellulose capacity. Arrangement of sprinkler must be submitted for approval in 
each case and sheet metal baffles must be provided. A vault which is divided into two 
or more compartments shall have at least one automatic sprinkler in each compartment. 
A vault of 1,500 cubic feet capacity must have at least 12 sprinkler heads. 

All vaults must be constructed in accordance with plans submitted to and anh 
by the Fire Department. 


Lighting. Incandescent electric lights only shall be used, and must have rigid 
fixtures and be protected by marine type, vapor-proof outer globes. All vault lights 
must be at the ceiling and equipped with keyless sockets and operated by switch 
located outside the vault, and so arranged as to indicate by means of a pilot light 
whether the lights in vault are on or off. All wiring must be in conduit. 

(d) Cabinets. Cabinets for the storage of nitro-cellulose products must be of 
approved construction. Cabinets having a capacity in excess of 250 pounds of nitro- 
cellulose must be divided into at least two distinct compartments, each compartment 
provided with an independent door and vent; the separating partition should be prac- 
tically air-tight and of substantial construction equivalent to the sides. 

Cabinets should be of a design and so insulated that naked nitro-cellulose burning 
on the outside of a cabinet will not ignite the contents, or if burning in one compart- 
ment it will not ignite the contents in the other; in both cases contents to be assumed 
as naked nitro-cellulose. The racks or drawers must be so arranged that the material 
immediately adjacent to the partitions do not touch same on either side. Spacers 
should be provided so as to have such material at least one-half inch away from the 
partition on either side. Separating partitions may be constructed of three-eighth inch 
hard asbestos board or of one-quarter inch soft asbestos board, enclosed between steel 
or iron sheets No. 22 U. S. gauge. The exterior sides of cabinet and doors may be 
composed of one-quarter inch hard asbestos board carried on a frame-work of 1%4 
by 1% by 1% inch angles, or may be made of 18 U. S. gauge metal, double walled 
with 1% inches of air space. The shelves or racks within the cabinet must be of 
metal and arranged to facilitate distribution of water from sprinklers. Doors to com- 
partments must be so arranged and weighted as to remain normally closed, and must 
be kept fastened by catches on at least three sides, and must be sufficiently tight to 
prevent the entrance of flame due to the burning of nitro-cellulose in an adjoining 
compartment. Doors on divided cabinets must swing from the centre so that they will 
not expose the contents of one compartment to the other. 

Cabinets holding over 50 pounds of nitro-cellulose products shall be equipped with 
at least one automatic sprinkler for each 250 pounds capacity, or a fraction thereof. 
If divided into two or more compartments, shall have at least one automatic sprinkler 
in each compartment. 


4-a. Classification of Articles. Nitro-cellulose products shall be divided inte twa 
classes as follows: 

(a) Class “A” articles shall be those made from material over one-tenth (0.1) inch 
thick and not finely divided during manufacture into teeth, scroll work or projections. 

(b) Class “B” articles shall be those not coming within the above classification and 
shall include articles of an individual weight of one-half ounce or less, regardless of the 
thickness of material from which they are made. 


4-b. Display of Finished Products. Display and sale tables shall not be over 4 
feet wide and 10 feet long and spaced at least 3 feet apart.

ment, may be necessary to pay the cost of properly performing the work above men- 
tioned, together with the expense of the inspection thereof. In case of neglect,

ing, refusing or omitting to perform his agreement, and shall be recoverable by an ac. 
tion at law on behalf of the city, and, when so recovered, shall be placed to the credit 
of the department of street cleaning or the bureau of street cleaning in the Boroughs of

the stoop lines of any building, or under the stairs of the elevated railroad stations, 
without first procuring a license therefor, as hereinafter provided. 

2. Licenses. Stands within stoop lines may be permitted and licensed, with the 
consent of the owner of the abutting premises, for the sale of newspapers, periodicals, 
fruits, soda water, cigars, tobacco, candies, confectionery articles and the blacking 
of boots, but such licenses for the sale of soda water, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, can- 
dies and confectionery articles shall be limited to stand licenses and locations thereof 
in effect on May 18, 1916. All licenses for such stands shall be granted and issued 
by the commissioner of licenses. except that in front of a house, store or other 
building facing any street market, such licenses other than those for the sale of 
newspapers, periodicals, or both, or for bootblack stands, or for a combination of 
the two, shall be granted and issued by the commissioner of public markets. Any 
person desiring to erect a stand or booth for the sale of newspapers and periodicals, 
underneath the stairs of any of the elevated stations, shall file an application in the 
department of licenses, in which the applicant shall specify the location for such stand. 

Applicants for new licenses shall be divided into five grades: 

(a) Persons physically handicapped who have been honorably discharged frou 
the United States military or naval services; 

(b) Persons who because of blindness or seriously defective vision are unable 
to compete with the sighted; 

(c) Other persons who are physically handicapped; 

(d) Deserving widows of licensees; 

(e) Persons not falling within grades a, b, c, or d. 

No license shall be granted to any person in grades ec, d, or e unless all appli- 
cations then pending of applicants in prior grades shall have first been disposed of. 
The commissioner shall require proof by certificate or otherwise of any fact claimed 
to entitle applicant to preferred grade. The grade of the license shall appear upon 
the license. The sub-paragraph shall not apply to the renewal of a then existing 
license to the same licensee. 

If the holder of a license issued under the provisions of this section shall die, 
and leave behind a widow or other family dependent, the license for such stand shall - 
continue in full force and effect for their benefit until its expiration, and such widow 
or other family dependent, as the case may be, shall be given preference in a renewal 
of the same. 

All licensees must personally attend their stands during one-half of:the time each 
day when such stands are transacting business unless prevented by illness. The com- 
missioner shall require proof by medical certificate as to the licensee’s inability to 
attend stand. 

3. Conditions. Every license granted pursuant to this section for a stand under 
the stairs of an elevated railway station shall contain the following reservation: “It is 
expressly agreed and understood that this permit is given subject to the right of the 
elevated railway company affected, its agents, employees, successors or assigns, or the 
owner of said stairway, at. any time properly to inspect, paint, repair, renew, reconstruct 
or remove said stairway or any portion thereof, and without claim on the part. of 
said licensee as against said company, its agents, employees, successors or assigns, or 
the owner of said stairway, for damages to or interference with said booth or stand, 
or the business therein conducted, occasioned by such inspection, painting, repair, 
renewal, reconstruction or removal.” 

4. License fees; term. The annual license fee for a stand under the stairs of 
an elevated railway station shall be $10. All stands within the stoop line shall be 
classified and the annual license fee therefor shall be fixed and collected as speci- 
fied in the schedule following: 

(a) Stands for the sale of newspapers, periodicals or both, $5;

(b) Stands for the sale of fruits, or soda water or both, $10; 

(c) Stands for the sale of cigars, cigarettes or tobacco, or the three, $5; 
(d) Stands for the sale of candies or confectionery articles, or both, $5; 
(e) Bootblack stands, each chair, $5. 


A license may be issued, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section, 
and in the discretion of the commissioner, covering the sale of any combination of the 
classes of goods mentioned above, to be sold, however, from only one stand not ex- 
ceeding the legal size hereinafter prescribed in this section; except that where boot 
black chairs are included in the combination, the space hereinafter prescribed for 
bootblack chairs may be allowed in addition to the stand for the sale of other 
articles. The fees to be paid for such combination licenses shall be calculated in 
accordance with the above schedule for each kind of article permitted to be sold or 
for each bootblack chair to be operated. If such a combination includes either of 
classes (b), (c) or (d) in front of a house, store or other building facing any street 
market, the license may be issued by the commissioner of public markets, and in 
all other cases by the commissioner of licenses. 

No license shall be required for stands within stoop lines for the sale of newspapers, 
periodicals or both, in cases when such stands are conducted by dealers who are the 
owners or occupants-of the premises or stores in front of which the same are situated. 
Licenses for stands within stoop lines or under the stairs of any elevated railway 
station shall be issued as of December 1, and shall expire on the 30th day of Novem- 
ber next succeeding the date of issuance thereof. 


No fee, however, shall be charged an applicant for a license hereunder, for any 
kind of stand whatever, and preference shall be given at all times in the case of stands 
under stairs of an elevated railway to one who is a disabled veteran of any war in 
which the United States was or is engaged (having served under the American colors), 
satisfactory evidence thereof having been presented to the commissioner. 


5. Construction of stand or booth. No stand or booth under the stairs of an 
elevated railway station, and no projection therefrom, shall be erected that is wider 
than the width of the stairs under which it is placed, nor that extends along the side- 
walk a greater distance than to a point where the under surface of the stairs is not 
over 7 feet from the level of the sidewalk. The stand shali be constructed, erected 
and maintained at the expense of the applicant, under the direction of the president 
of the borough in which it is located, and upon plans to be approved by the chief 
engineer of the elevated railroad company affected, so as to permit of a ready 
removal of so much thereof as may be necessary to enable the said company, its 
agents or employees, to get convenient access to any part of the stairway, for the 
purpose of inspecting, painting or repairing the same. Each such stand shail be painted 
the same color as the stairs of the elevated railroad, and no advertisement shall be 
painted or displayed thereon. 


6. Restrictions. a. Every stand, other than a stand or booth under the stairs 
of an elevated railway station, must be strictly within the stoop line, and shall not 
be an obstruction to the free use of the sidewalk by the public. It shali not exceed 
the space of 10 feet long by 4 feet wide; except that, in the case of bootblack stands, 
a space not more than 3 feet long and 4 feet wide may be occupied by each chair 
of the stand. 

b. No person shall be permitted to sleep in any portion of a stand; nor to hold 
more than 1 license. 

ec. No bootblack stand shall be provided with more than 3 chairs. 

7. Licenses to be displayed. The license for a stand or booth. issued under any 
provision of this section, must be displayed thereon, so as to be easily visible at all 
times.

CHAP. 23, ART. 13, SECS. 150-151. 


8. Licenses not transferable. No license issued under any provision of this 
section shall be transferable, with or without consideration. Any license transferred 
to another person shall immediately thereupon cease and determine, and the privi- 
leges thereunder come to an end; provided that the commissioner of licenses and 
commissioner of public markets may in locations within their respective jurisdictions 
transfer a license to another location for the period of its unexpired term, in case the 
application for such transfer is to be made; and provided further, that such transfer 
is not sought for a license to sell articles other than newspapers, periodicals, and fruit 
at a location which was not duly licensed and in effect on May 18, 1916, but shall 
be in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of this section. Any person 
who shall be guilty of a violation of the provisions of this subdivision shall not 
thereafter be granted a license, permit or other privilege to keep a stand within the 
stoop line or under an elevated. railroad station, for the sale of any of the articles 
as hereinbefore provided in subdivisions 2 and 4 of this section, nor for the blacking 
of boots. Further, any person found guilty of violating any provisions of this sub- 
division, by a Court of competent jurisdiction, shall be subject to a fine of not 
less than $50 nor more than $500. The commissioner of licenses and commissioner 
of public markets shall have the language of this subdivision printed in bold type 
on all applications for licenses and on all licenses granted by them respectively, under 
the provisions of this article. 

9. Revocation of consent of property owner. Upon the written revocation by 
the owner, in front of or adjoining whose property any such booth or stand shall 
have been erected, of any consent that shall have been given therefor, signed by 
such owner or owners and filed in the office of the commissioner of licenses or com- 
missioner of public markets, the commissioner having jurisdiction thereof shall revoke 
or suspend the license or permit for such booth or stand, and the same shall there- 
upon cease, determine and become null and void, so far as it applies to such location. 


10. Report to police department. The commissioner of licenses and commis- 
sioner of public markets shall furnish the police commissioner with a list of all 
unexpired licenses issued under any provision of this section, containing the names 
of all persons to whom licenses have been issued, the place and business for which | 
issued and the date of the expiration of each license. Thereafter, during the first 
week of each month, the police commissioner shall send to each police precinct com- 
mander a list of all such licenses expiring during the month for which the report is 
sent. (Amd. by ord. appd. June 17, 1924.)

lished by the commissioner of street cleaning, is vested in the respective borough 
presidents. (C. O., §99.) 


3. Redemption of articles removed. Except as otherwise provided in this article, 
all articles removed from a street or public place, under this section, may be redeemed

necessary expenses of removal, together with 6 cents per day for each cart-load thereof 
during the time it shall remain unclaimed. (C. O., §96.) 


4. Rewmbursement for expenses of removal. Each borough president shall, be- 
tween the Ist and 10th days of February, May, August and November, and at any other 
time he may designate, in each year, advertise and sell, at public auction, all such

account thereof to the comptroller on Thursday of each week, and shall, thereupon, 
pay over the amount so received to the chamberlain. He shall also, thereupon, receive 
from the chamberlain duplicate vouchers for the payment thereof, one of which he 
shall, on the same day, file in the office of the comptroller. (C.O., §97.) 


§152. Vehicles, merchandise and other movable property. 


1. Must not be left in street. No person, being the owner or the agent, or the 
employee of the owner of any truck, cart, wagon or other vehicles, or of any box, 
barrel, bale of merchandise or other movable property, shall leave, or suffer or permit 
to be left such vehicle, merchandise or other movable property upon any public street, 
except upon such portion of any marginal street or wharf or place as, by the pro- 
visions of the charter, is committed to the custody and control of the commissioner 
of docks, nor shall any person erect or cause to be erected any shed, building or 
other obstruction upon any street. In case of an accident to a truck, cart, wagon or 
other vehicle, the owner or driver thereof, if it be disabled by such accident, shall be 
allowed a reasonable time, not exceeding 3 hours, to remove it. (Charter, §1456.) 


2. Removal of such obstructions. The commissioner of street cleaning shall re- 
move, or cause to be removed, all unharnessed trucks, carts, wagons and vehicles of 
any description found in any public street or public place, and also all boxes, barrels, 
bales of merchandise and other movable property found upon any public street or 
place, not including, however, any portion of marginal street, place or wharf which, 
by the provision of any law or statute, is committed to the custody and control of 
the commissioner of docks. ‘The commissioner of street cleaning is hereby author- 
ized with the consent and approval of the board of sinking fund commissioners, to 
lease a suitable yard or yards to which trucks, carts, wagons and vehicles, boxes, bales, 
barrels and other things, removed under the authority of this section, shall be taken. 
(Charter, §545.)

489 


CHAP. 23, ART. 13, SEC. 162. 


as hereinafter provided, at publie auction, at such yard or yards, the said trucks, carts, 
wagons, vchicles, boxes, barrels and other things so removed. Whenever the com- 
missioner or deputy commissioner shall have removed or caused to be removed any 
such truck, cart, wagon, vehicle, box, barrel, bale or other thing, and shall deem 
it necessary to sell it, and before making the sale thereof, he shall file, with a justice of 
the municipal court of the city, a written petition, verified by oath, setting forth the 
facts which bring the case within this section, together with a brief description of each 
of the trucks, carts, wagons, vehicles, boxes, barrels or other things so removed in his 
vustody and possession as street cleaning commissioner at the time of filing such peti- 
tion, stating either the name of the owner, or that this name is not known to the peti- 
tioner and cannot be ascertained with reasonable diligence, and praying for a final 
order, directing the sale of the property so seized or removed, and the application of 
the proceeds thereof, as herein prescribed. Upon the presentation of the petition, the 
justice must issue a precept, under his hand, directed to the persons whose names 
appear in the petition as owners, if stated in the petition, or, if not stated, directed 
generally to all persons having any interest in the property so seized and removed, and 
briefly reciting in substance the other facts stated in the petition and requiring the 
person or persons to whom the precept is directed to show cause before a justice of 
the said court, at a time and place specified therein, not less than 10 nor more than 20 
days after the issuing of the precept, why the prayer of the petition should not be 
granted. The precept shall be served by posting a copy thereof in at least 2 public 
and conspicuous places in the city, one of which shall be the office of the said commis- 
sioner of street cleaning, and the second of which shall be the yard to which the property 
shall have been removed, and a copy of which shall be so posted within 3 days after the 
precept shall have been issued. A brief abstract of the precept shall be published in the 
City Record and corporation newspapers, within 5 days after the issue, and not 
later than 3 days before the return day mentioned in.the precept. At the time 
and place when the precept is returnable, the commissioner must furnish proof 
of the service of said precept as herein prescribed, and any person named in the 
petition and precept, or otherwise, having an interest in the property seized, may 
appear on the return day of the precept and make himself a party to the proceeding ~ 
by filing a written answer, subscribed by him or his attorney and verified by the 
oath of the person subscribing it, denying absolutely, or upon information and 
belief, one or more material allegations in the petition and setting forth his interest 
in the property seized. The subsequent proceedings before the justice shall be the 
same as in an action in the municipal court where an issue of fact has been joined, 
and, if the decision of the justice is in favor of the petitioner, the justice must make 
a final order, the same as though no appearance or trial were had, except to recite 
the appearance and trial before him. If no person appears and answers, the justice , 
shall make a final order, directed to the commissioner of street cleaning, command- 
ing him to sell at public auction all of the property seized and described in the peti- 
tion, at the yard to which said property was removed, for the best price which he 
van obtain therefor. Before making any such sale, the said commissioner or deputy 
commissioner shall give public notice in the City Record and corporation papers 
as by this act prescribed, not later than 3 days before the day of such sale, and 
such notice of sale shall specify the time and place of the sale, and shall contain a 
general description of the property to be sold, but no particular description of any 
article shall be contained therein. ‘The sale shall be made, at the time and place 
specified in said notice of sale, by the commissioner or a deputy commissioner of 
his department, or by an auctioneer, designated for such sale by the commissioner. 
Immediately after the sale, the commissioner shall pay to the comptroller the pro- 
ceeds thereof, and shall at the same time, transmit to the comptroller an itemized 


490 


STREETS. 


statement of the articles sold, with the price received for each article and a certificate 
of the cost and expenses incurred by the said commissioner in making such con- 
demnation and sales. The comptroller shall credit and add to the appropriation for 
the department of street cleaning, from the proceeds of such sale, the amount of 
said costs and expenses of such condemnation and sale as hereinbefore provided, 
and, in addition thereto, such an amount for each incumbrance seized or taken, con- 
demned and sold, as hereinbefore provided, not to exceed $10, as may be estimated 
and fixed by the commissioner of street cleaning as necessary to pay the cost of 
seizing, removing and keeping or storing such encumbrances; and the remainder 
of the moneys realized from such sale shall be paid without interest, to the lawful 
owners of the several articles sold. Any payment to a person apparently entitled 
thereto, under the provisions of this section, shall be a good defense to the city 
against any other person claiming to be entitled to such payment; but, if the person 
to whom such payment is made is not in fact entitled thereto, the person to whom 
the same ought to have been paid may recover the same, with interest and costs of 
suit, as so. much money had and received to his use, by the person to whom the same 
shall have been paid. (Charter, §545.) 


4. Redemption of property removed. The owner of any truck, cart. wagon, 
vehicle, box, barrel, bale or other thing, removed from any public street or place, 
under the provisions of this section, may redeem his property at any time after its 
removal, upon payment to the commissioner of street cleaning of such sum as he 
may fix, not to exceed $10, for each article redeemed. The sum thus paid shall be 
immediately transmitted to the comptroller, and shall be by him added and credited to 
the appropriation for the department of street, cleaning, and may be used by the com- 
missioner for any of the purposes of his department, as if originally included in the 
appropriation therefor. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to authorize 
the summary removal of materials for any public work or improvement in course of 
construction. (Charter, §545.) 


5. Temporary obstruction of crossings. No person shall obstruct the walks laid 
across a public street or at the head of a public slip, by placing or stopping his horse, 
cart or other carriage upon or across any of the said walks, or by placing or putting 
any other obstruction or other thing across or on the same. (C. O., §268.)
